This is a guide which provides a simple summary of the copyright law governing access to material for people with a disability in Australia. It also includes a checklist of their major requirements and some practical advice for applying them.

It is intended for use by disability organisations, libraries, archives, museums, galleries, schools, TAFEs, universities and similar institutions.

The guide is published by the Australian Inclusive Publishing Initiative (AIPI). The AIPI was launched in 2016 to foster a collaborative, consultative and consensus-based approach to tackling accessibility problems in Australia. Its members include representatives of the publishing industry, authors, agents, editors, designers, indexers, libraries, copyright organisations, disability associations, government and accessible-format providers. The aim of the AIPI is to increase access to published material for people living with print disabilities in Australia. This guide is a resource that supports this aim.
