Australian Performing Right Association

The Australian Performing Right Association (APRA) is a copyright collective that manages and licenses the public performance, communication, and reproduction rights of Australian songwriters, composers, and music publishers. It ensures artists get paid when their music is played on radio, TV, online, or live venues. APRA collects royalties on behalf of its members and distributes them based on usage. Essentially, it helps creators earn income from their intellectual property, supporting the ongoing creation of music and new works within Australia.
