The Prepublication Data Service (formerly Cataloguing in Publication) is a free service offered to publishers by the National Library of Australia. This service is for Australian publishers and self-publishers who want the details of their publications made available to Australian libraries, library suppliers and other members of the book industry for acquisition purposes.

There is no registration system for copyright in Australia. Generally, under the Copyright Act 1968, the author or creator of the work owns copyright by default.
When creating your book, you can include a copyright note, which lets people know who owns copyright. For example:
© John Smith 2024
An introduction to copyright can be found on the Australian Copyright Council website.
If you need to know how the law applies to your particular situation, you will need to contact a lawyer.
