Using documents from NSW Health and Local Health Districts
Documents and materials from our health provider partners will likely not be covered under the educational statutory licence (S113P) above due to the types of materials involved and/or the purpose behind them. To assist with the use of these materials in our courses, the Copyright Advisor has negotiated usage permissions for the University. Note that requirements for use will vary, based on the provider.
NSW Health
- Where NSW Health material is openly available online, we have been granted permission to use this material however we need to.
- Where documents are internal to NSW Health (e.g., accessible via hospital intranet, blank/paper patient forms, etc.), use of these materials in our courses requires written permission from the NSW Health CEC. University staff should send a request to the Copyright Advisor to coordinate approval for internal materials. Please include as much detail as possible, including the document number from the margins.
- Where materials are approved for use in course sites or assessments, please add the following attribution statement in Canvas modules or elsewhere as appropriate: '© NSW Health. Reproduced with permission'.
Local Health Districts (LHDs) - Hunter New England and Central Coast
- Both Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD) and Central Coast Local Health District (CCLHD) have granted the University permission to make use of their internal and external content in our courses.
- There is a requirement to check that we are using the current/latest version of any documents and forms. For each instance of course delivery, it is the coordinator's responsibility to check for updates to any materials and to only use the latest version. Where an older version is required for historical comparison or similar use, it should be clearly marked as such in Canvas to remove any confusion.
- The following attribution statement should be added to HNELHD material in Canvas modules: '© Hunter New England Local Health District. Reproduced with permission'. For CCLHD materials, add: '© Central Coast Local Health District. Reproduced with permission'.
Other LHDs
- Note that NSW Health does not have an overarching ownership of all health-related materials. As noted in their respective copyright statements, each LHD will usually own the materials/documents they create.
- For materials from outside of the above organisations, please contact the Copyright Advisor.
