APRA AMCOS is the trading name of Australasian Performing Right Association Limited (APRA) and Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (AMCOS). If you are a songwriter, composer or music publisher, then you need to know about the services APRA/AMCOS offer.

APRA AMCOS is a music rights management organisation. APRA AMCOS grants licences for the live performance, broadcast, communication, public playing or reproduction of its members’ musical works. APRA AMCOS then distributes the licence fees to its 111,000+ songwriter, composer and music publisher members and affiliated societies worldwide. The organisation pays royalties to music creators when their music is played or copied, both locally and overseas.

Over 111,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers appoint APRA AMCOS to look after certain rights on their behalf. This means organisations don’t have to contact individual music creators to legally use their music.
