CONFUSED ABOUT THE LETTERS AFTER SOME MEMBER’S NAMES?
The “letters after your name” indicating photographic achievements are called Photographic Honours, unlike an academic degree or an honour such the Order of Australia, where the more general term Post-nominal is used. Photographic Honours are earned by entering national and/or international competitions. There is a detailed description on the Membership page.

Photography the law and you
Street and Candid Photography
The Arts Law Centre of Australia website has a comprehensive information sheet on street photographer’s rights. Anyone who takes photos in a public place should peruse this article. Information sheets are free but other information or services have a charge. Costs vary from $0 to $100s.
This article written by an Australian solicitor from a photographer’s perspective is also a good resource. He states that it provides a view of the law relative to NSW, however, many of the references apply to Australia generally.
Copyright
The Australian Copyright Council is a good resource for understanding your rights. This link takes you directly to the copyright information as it relates to photographers. You might want to browse elsewhere on the site.
Creative Commons License
Effectively, copyright is forever. You may not want that, in which case you might consider one of the Creative Commons Licenses which tell others how they can legally share your work. The CC licences set out the uses that may lawfully be made of the copyright material and specifies the conditions which must be complied with when it is used. Or, to build a license, jump straight to the nitty-gritty here.
