Part VA allows a school to copy and communicate anything from television, including pay TV, provided the transmission is received in Australia, and the school is covered by a remuneration notice with Screenrights.

Part VA also allows a school that has recorded a pay TV program to make a copy for another school that is covered by a remuneration notice with Screenrights. The school that has recorded the program may, however, need to check its subscription contract in case copying and/or supplying a copy of the program to another school would breach the contract.

Part VA also allows a teacher to record a pay TV program at home, for the school, provided the school has a remuneration notice with Screenrights and any marking and/or record keep requirements are met. The teacher may need to check that copying the program for the school does not breach the subscription contract.

Note that there are prohibitions in the Copyright Act against unauthorised access to encoded broadcasts.
