SBS only has limited rights in most programs which are viewed on SBS TV channels and SBS On Demand. In many cases, SBS cannot provide copies for any purpose – including educational use.
There are several resources available to Australian schools providing access to programs broadcast on Australian TV. Please contact your institution to find out if it holds a Screenrights licence allowing you to copy and communicate programs from TV and radio.
