Terms and copyright
What you can expect from AusBasic, and where our words, pictures and news come from.
General information, not advice
AusBasic explains how Australia works in plain words. It is general information, not legal, tax, migration or financial advice.
AusBasic is not a government website or app. Rules change and can differ between states, so always check the official source linked under each card before you act.
Our content
The guides, explanations, diagrams, illustrations and the AusBasic name and logo are made by AusBasic. You may share links to any page. Please ask before copying our text or pictures somewhere else.
Today’s news
Each news card is a short summary we write in our own words from publicly reported facts. We do not copy article text, photos, videos or logos.
Every card names its source and links to the full story. Our news sources are The Conversation, which publishes under a Creative Commons Attribution/No Derivatives licence, and Australian government agencies such as the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, which publish under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Their content belongs to them.
Official sources
Facts in the guides come from official Australian government websites, named and linked on each page. Government material is used under the licence each site states, usually Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
Weather and voice
Weather data comes from Open-Meteo. The Listen button on the Aussie word of the day uses a text-to-speech voice.
