University of Tasmania, Australia

The University has an extensive range of photographic images for use in publications, advertising and on the UTAS website. An image library is under development, with a view to providing an online tool for staff to access, view and download photographs from an extensive catalogue.

As an interim measure, UTAS staff seeking images for use in promotional collateral can direct enquiries to Student Recruitment and Marketing.

Permission to use photographs

Staff should be mindful of copyright issues and permissions pertaining to the use of photographs in any UTAS promotional material and publications.

Photographs that are not owned by UTAS must not be used in any promotional material, publications or advertisement, unless the University has received written permission from the copyright owner (in some cases the copyright owner may be the photographer). The written permission can be in the form of email, fax or letter*.

Further information relating to the Australian Copyright Act 1968 can be obtained from the Australian Copyright Council .

When taking or arranging photographs with people included, personal consent form/s must be completed*.

* Original copies of the UTAS Personal Consent Form and/or any photographer permission advice should be held on file within the relevant organisational unit. A scanned electronic version of the form should be saved onto TRIM (the University’s record information management system). For those units that do not operate or access TRIM, the scanned electronic version of the form should be emailed to rmu.staff@utas.edu.au. Forms should be emailed individually, rather than in bulk, for effective retrieval purposes.
