Copyright and licensing

The University is both a producer and consumer of copyright materials. Bond University's Copyright Compliance Policy accords with Australian law.

The Copyright Act gives creators of original works the exclusive right to reproduce, publish, communicate, arrange and adapt their material; and to control the way other people use it.
