-
Except in the case of holidays observed under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902, the Copyright Office shall be open to the public on week days (other than Saturdays) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon.
-
Every application for the registration of a copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, must be left at or sent by prepaid letter through the post, either to the Copyright Office, Melbourne, or to one of the Trade Marks Sub-offices at Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, or Hobart for transmission to the Copyright Office, Melbourne.
But in the case of applications lodged at or sent by post to a Trade Marks Sub-office, the time of receipt of the application at the Copyright office, Melbourne, shall be deemed to be the official time of receipt of the application.
-
Where an application for registration is made by an owner of a copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, other than the author of the book, musical or dramatic work, lecture, or artistic work, he shall in his application trace the devolution of title from the author to himself, and shall attach thereto the assignment or assignments by virtue of which he derives his title to the copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, with an attested copy thereof, or of each (if more than one).
-
Every application for the registration of a copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, shall be accompanied by a statement of address, or appointment of agent; and all notices, requisitions, and communications of every kind in connection with an application may be sent by the Registrar to such address or agent.
-
(1) Declarations, for the purpose of the Act and these Regulations, may be taken or made before any of the following persons:—
(a) In Australia—the Registrar, a Deputy-Registrar, a Notary Public, a Justice of the Peace, a Commissioner for Affidavits, or a person authorized by any Act or State Act to administer oaths or take declarations.

(c) In foreign countries—any Judge of a Superior Court, British Consul or Consular Officer, or Notary Public.
(2) The Registrar may take notice of the signature to any declaration and of the signature of the person before whom it purports to have been declared, without proof of those signatures or any other evidence relating thereto.
- (1) When any person becomes entitled to any copyright, performing right or lecturing right, or to any interest therein, by virtue of an assignment or transmission, a request for the entry of his name in the Register shall be left at or sent by post to the Copyright Office.
(2) The request may be in the Form E or F in the Second Schedule, as the case requires, and shall be made and signed by the person claiming to be registered as owner or licensee, or by his agent, and shall be accompanied by the deed or document upon which he bases his request for registration.
(3) An attested copy of every deed and document affecting the ownership of the copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, or of any licence thereunder, shall, accompany the request.
(4) The Registrar, if satisfied with the request, shall register the assignment, transmission, or licence by entering particulars thereof in the proper register.
- The Registers of Copyrights shall be open to the inspection of the public during office hours on every day during which the Copyright Office is open, except on the days and at the times following:—

The certificate of registration issued by the Registrar in respect of an application may be in accordance with such of the forms in the Second Schedule as is appropriate to the case.
-
The Registers of Copyrights may be altered or amended by the Registrar in the following cases:—
(a) Where the error in entry has been made purely through the fault of the office.
(b) Where the error in entry has been made through accident on the part of an applicant or his agent, and not from wilful default.
In the latter case, however, no amendment shall be made unless the owner of the copyright, performing right, or lecturing right, lodges at the Copyright Office a request to amend, accompanied by the prescribed fee.
-
Any document for the amendment of which no special provision is made by the Act may be amended, and any irregularity in procedure, which, in the opinion of the Registrar, may be obviated without detriment to the interests of any person, may be corrected if, and on such terms as, the Registrar thinks fit. An application to amend shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
-
Any notice of address for service or appointment of agent left at or sent to the Copyright Office shall be binding on the person giving the notice until notice of revocation, or of the appointment of some other address for service, or of some other agent, has been furnished by him to the Registrar.
-
(1) An application to the Minister under Section 30 of the Act shall be in accordance with Form H, and shall be lodged by being left at the Copyright Office under cover of a Request to Transmit addressed to the Registrar, and accompanied by the prescribed fee.
(2) There shall be attached to the application a statement showing particulars of the applicant’s capacity to perform the work of translation.
(3) Thereupon the Registrar shall examine the contents of the application and shall ascertain whether the correct name and address of the registered owner of the copyright have been inserted in the Application form, also whether, to the best of his knowledge, the other particulars in the form are correct. He shall then forward the application to the Minister, accompanied by such remarks as may appear to him suitable, and by one of the copies of the book which were originally lodged.
(4) After decision by the Minister, the documents and book shall be returned to the Copyright Office, and there shall be inserted in the Register, opposite the entry of registration of the copyright, a note of the application, and of the decision of the Minister.
