Not as far as I'm aware.

Who owns copyright
In general the copyright owner is the author or maker of the relevant material. However a work created in the context of employment is owned by the employer. A work created by a contractor is owned by the contractor. However it is possible to vary these provisions by agreement.
The Copyright Act does not require the completion of formalities (such as publication, registration or the payment of fees) in order to obtain protection in Australia, or any other country which is also a party to an international copyright treaty. (This is unlike the position with patents, trade marks and designs where registration is a pre-condition to protection.) Copyright protection is granted automatically from the time an original work is made in a material form.
Like other forms of property, copyright can be assigned to a new owner, or use of the copyright material licensed - either exclusively or non-exclusively. Assignments and licences may be qualified by reference to time, territory and other factors.
