Certified copy of an original document
A certified copy of an original document is one that has been checked by an authorised person to certify that the copy is a "true and accurate" copy of the original. A Solicitor is the ideal person to check and certify the copies because they can certify all of your copied documents. If you are in a location which has an IDP Education Australia office, you can also take your documents there for an "original sighted" stamp. This is acceptable to the APS office. Copies of academic documents can be certified by the administration centre of the issuing institution, or DIKTI however they are only able to certify the academic documents.
