All material published by Hachette Australia Pty Ltd is protected by the Australian Copyright Act (1968). If you wish to reprint or reproduce any material from a Hachette Australia publication, you must obtain written permission from us prior to using the material.
It is important to check the imprint page of the book from which you wish to reproduce material in order to determine the original publisher of the book, as the edition you have may be a licensed edition. In most cases, the original publisher will control the copyright. If the work from which you are requesting permission is an anthology, consult the credit or acknowledgments page and apply to the original source for permission to use the copyright material. This also applies to photographs and illustrations.
It generally takes around six weeks to process a request, which means it is important to allow time in your editorial schedule to clear permissions. A permission fee will normally be charged to compensate the author and/or illustrator for use of their work. The amount of this fee will depend on the content to be reproduced and the intended use.
Permission requests must include the following information:
Permission requests for use of material first published by Hachette Australia should preferably be emailed to licensing@hachette.com.au, otherwise posted.
In the current climate of uncertainty surrounding school closures and access to books, Hachette Australia will be granting free permissions for online story-time events for those areas in a local lockdown in order to continue to support schools, bookshops and public libraries. Hachette Australia’s Virtual Story-time policy applies through to the end of December 2021 for any area in a local lockdown. Please refer to the guidelines here. Provided the guidelines are complied with in full, applications will not receive a formal response and can consider their online story-time events ‘preapproved’.
