In Australia, section 201 of the ''[[Copyright Act 1968]]''<ref>{{cite web | title=Copyright Act 1968 | website=Federal Register of Legislation | date=24 February 2016 | url=https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2016C00146  | access-date=3 May 2020}}</ref> and other state acts requires that a copy of all materials published in Australia be deposited with the [[National Library of Australia]]. State laws require books and a wide range of other materials published in each state to be deposited in the applicable state library. [[New South Wales]], [[Queensland]] and [[South Australia]] also require books published in those states to be deposited in the library of the state parliament. New South Wales law also requires books published in that state to be deposited in the [[University of Sydney]] library.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nla.gov.au/services/LegalDepositStates.html|title=Legal Deposit > States & Territories|publisher=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref name=slnsw/>

Until the 21st century, this has applied to all types of printed materials (and in some states, to [[audio-visual]] formats as well).<ref name=nsla>{{cite web | title=Legal deposit in Australia | website=National and State Libraries Australia | date=1 June 2019 | url=https://www.nsla.org.au/legal-deposit-australasia | access-date=3 May 2020}}</ref> On 17 February 2016, the federal legal deposit provisions were extended (by ''Statute Law Revision Act (No. 1) 2016'') to cover electronic publications of all types.<ref name=what/> By July 2018, while the [[Northern Territory]] was the only jurisdiction with legislation with explicit mention of "internet publications" (in its ''Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004''), [[Queensland]]'s ''Libraries Act 1988'' and [[Tasmania]]'s ''Libraries Act 1984'' were broad enough to include digital publications.<ref name=lcweb>{{cite web | title=Digital Legal Deposit: Australia|first=Kelly|last= Buchanan|date=July 2018 | website=Library of Congress (Law Library of Congress)| url=https://www.loc.gov/law/help/digital-legal-deposit/australia.php | access-date=3 May 2020}}</ref><ref name=lcdoc>{{cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/law/help/digital-legal-deposit/digital-legal-deposit.pdf|title=Digital Legal Deposit in Selected Jurisdictions|publisher=The Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center|date=July 2018}}</ref> Most states and territories have been reviewing or amending existing legislation to extend to digital publications as well.<ref name=nsla/><ref>{{cite web | title=Statute Law Revision Act (No. 1) 2016 | website=Federal Register of Legislation | date=12 February 2016 | url=https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2016A00004 | access-date=3 May 2020}}</ref> The [[State Library of South Australia]] requires that electronic publications should be deposited rather than print whenever possible".<ref name=slsa/> In June 2019, New South Wales passed new legislation, the ''Library Amendment Act 2019'', which amended the ''Library Act 1939'' and repealed previous legal deposit legislation, the ''Copyright Act 1879'' (NSW). The change means that legal deposit now applies to all formats, including digital.<ref name=slnsw/>

Under the legislation (section 195CD (1) (c) (i)), publishers are required to deposit digital publications without [[Digital rights management|technological protection measures (TPM) or digital rights management (DRM)]]; that is, the copy must contain all content and functionality, without protection measures such as password protection or subscription paywalls.<ref name=apa>{{cite web | title=Who's NED?
