NEALS (National Education Access Licence for Schools) is a licence between state, territory and the Commonwealth education departments, the Catholic and independent school sectors and any other parties who choose to become a party to NEALS. NEALS allows its parties to copy and communicate material from each other's publications and websites for educational use within schools, free of charge. All state, territory and the Commonwealth education departments have signed NEALS, as well as most of the Catholic and independent school sectors.
Material that is covered by a NEALS licence is not subject to the Part VB statutory licence scheme in the Copyright Act 1968 and therefore its use is not subject to the payment of statutory licence fees.
Where Content is marked with the NEALS logo, parties to NEALS including their schools may copy and communicate the Content for educational purposes in schools free of charge, provided acknowledgement is made of the source on each printed page.
Content marked with the NEALS logo may also include Third-Party Content. Unless indicated otherwise, Third-Party Content may only be used as permitted under the Copyright Act 1968.
