Attributing NCA works

Use of NCA material licensed under a Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 Australia licence requires attribution to the work in the manner specified by the NCA (but not in any way that suggests that the NCA endorses the work). Almost any form of words is acceptable, provided that it:

makes clear whether or not you have changed NCA content,
makes clear what permission is relied on, by including a reference to this page or to a human-readable summary of the Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 Australia licence, and
does not suggest that the NCA endorses use of NCA content.
