If you've written a song, composed a piece of music, or are a music publisher, you may own the copyright in that song. APRA AMCOS can manage certain music rights on your behalf to make sure you get paid royalties when someone, anywhere in the world, uses your music.
But that's not all.
Find out why so many music creators in Australia and New Zealand have chosen to join APRA AMCOS.

How music royalties work
Curious to know how you can get paid for your original songs or compositions? Royalties keep the music industry turning. Find out why, how, and where we collect royalties from all over the world. And what you need to do to get paid your share.
How royalty distributions work
We care about ensuring the licence fees our music customers pay are distributed to our music creator members and affiliated overseas societies as efficiently and accurately as possible. Find out how we figure out who is owed what.
Manage your rights
As a member, you give us control of your performing and reproduction rights for most types of music uses, but you can take back some of those rights if you wish. We offer flexible membership, depending on how your music is used.
We're here to help
We've got specialised departments to look after our members, licence enquiries, international affiliates, and more. Get in touch or send us a message using our department direct form.
