Below are Australian-founded/usered platforms where you can obtain user‑generated content (UGC) and—depending on the product/option—purchase broad or perpetual (i.e., “unlimited”) usage rights. Notes below are current as of Sep 13, 2025; check the linked licence/terms pages for the exact wording that applies to the item you plan to use.
-
TRIBE (Melbourne) — influencer / UGC licensing
- Offers content licensing options including “Online” or “All‑Channels” and licence durations of 12 months or “perpetuity” (perpetual/all‑media options are explicitly available). Good for buying perpetual, all‑media rights to creator posts. (help.tribegroup.co)
-
99designs (founded in Australia) — design contests / bespoke creative work
- When a design is purchased as a contest winner, designers sign a Design Transfer Agreement that assigns copyright/ownership to the client (i.e., client gets full ownership and can use the design without ongoing licence limits). Good option if you need full ownership/“unlimited” use of a bespoke design. (support.99designs.com)
-
Envato / Envato Elements (Melbourne) — stock assets, templates, audio, video
- Envato Elements is an “unlimited downloads” subscription, but its Elements licence is a single‑use licence per registered download: you must re‑license an item for new projects (however, end products that incorporate licensed items can be distributed in unlimited copies). In short: unlimited downloads, broad commercial rights for each registered use — but not unrestricted reuse across projects without re‑licensing. (help.elements.envato.com)
-
Canva (Sydney) — stock media inside a design platform
- Canva issues a “One Design Use” / Pro Content licence (perpetual, non‑exclusive) for content used in a single Canva Design; Canva Pro subscriptions auto‑issue licences per export. Multi‑use/extended licences were changed/removed historically, so Canva does not generally offer unlimited reuse of the same stock item across unlimited separate projects without re‑licensing or enterprise arrangements — read Canva’s Content License Agreement for details.

Quick practical guidance
- If you need a true perpetual, all‑media/right‑to‑use-for‑life option, look for (a) explicit “perpetual” or “perpetuity” + “all channels / all media” in the licence (TRIBE offers this), or (b) an explicit copyright/rights assignment (99designs DTA). (help.tribegroup.co)
- If you want “unlimited downloads” for many assets but plan to reuse assets across multiple separate projects, be careful: some services (Envato Elements, Canva) require re‑licensing for each separate project/use even though downloads are unlimited. (help.elements.envato.com)
- Always read the specific content licence and any contributor/creator agreements before purchase—look for scope (online vs all channels), duration (term vs perpetual), territorial limits, and whether copyright is assigned or only licensed.
If you’d like, I can:
- Pull the exact licence language for a particular asset or plan (e.g., “Canva Pro music use for ads”), or
- Search for more Australia‑based platforms in a narrow vertical (photos, music, influencer UGC, or design) and summarise their licence options.
