Australian Performing Rights Association

The Australian Performing Rights Association (APRA) is an organization that manages the rights of songwriters and composers in Australia. It ensures that these creators are compensated when their music is performed in public, whether at concerts, on radio, or in other venues. APRA collects fees from businesses and venues using music and then distributes that money to its members based on how often their music is played. This helps support artists, promoting the creation and performance of new music while protecting their intellectual property rights.
