In Australia, educational institutions pay an annual copyright fee per student for the education statutory licence, which covers student use of images and tables for educational purposes (Australian Copyright Council, 2019). Figures (images and diagrams) and tables can be reproduced in student assignments as long as they are correctly acknowledged.
Under the education statutory licence, to include a figure or table in your assignment, it may be simply a matter of adding the web address as a caption to an image sourced from the internet. For a written work, such as a book or journal (including ebooks and online journals), provide an author-date citation in APA 7th edition style with a page number. However, if a figure has a copyright notice such as a Creative Commons copyright notice, then the figure or table must be credited in line with the conditions of the licence.
While the Australian education statutory licence covers the use of figures and tables in student assignments in Australia during the time of student enrolment, it does not provide permission for the figure or table to be used in another context outside education.
