Summary
The National Copyright Unit (NCU), on behalf of the Copyright Advisory Group for TAFEs (CAG TAFE) and its members, Victorian TAFEs (as listed in Annexure A of the Notification) and other TAFE entities who may elect to join this group in the future (together, the Notifying Parties), lodged a notification to enable the Notifying Parties to:
- collectively bargain with Standards Australia, SAI Global and/or Techstreet (as relevant) a fit for purpose licence or licence terms for the use of standards in TAFE institutions, and
- authorise NCU to represent the Notifying Parties in the event of any dispute resolution process with Standards Australia, Global Australia and/or Techstreet
(the Notified Conduct).
The Notified Conduct is voluntary and no TAFEs will be compelled to participate – each TAFE may negotiate with Standards Australia, SAI Global and/or Techstreet on an individual basis if they wish.
The Notified Conduct does not extend to collective boycott activity.
On 2 February 2023, the ACCC decided not to object to the notification. The legal protection provided by the notification commenced on 29 November 2022 and will continue until 14 November 2032, unless withdrawn or revoked.
