Australasian Performing Right Association

The Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) is an organization that protects the rights of music creators in Australia and New Zealand. It ensures that songwriters, composers, and music publishers receive payment when their music is performed, broadcast, or used in public. APRA collects royalties from venues, radio stations, and streaming services, distributing these funds to its members based on their music's usage. This helps support artists financially and encourages the creation of new music, fostering a vibrant cultural landscape in the region.
