Music publishing in Australia

Music publishing in Australia involves the management and commercialization of musical compositions. It ensures that songwriters and composers receive royalties when their music is played, sold, or used in various media. Music publishers handle licensing agreements, promoting songs to artists, TV shows, and films, while also protecting the rights of the creators. Key organizations, like APRA AMCOS, collect and distribute royalties to songwriters. In essence, music publishing supports artists financially and helps their work reach wider audiences, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their creative efforts.
