APRA AMCOS is an Australian organization that represents songwriters, composers, and music publishers. It helps its members earn money from their music by collecting royalties when their songs are played, performed, or reproduced. The organization ensures that creators are compensated fairly for their work. Founded in 2011 through the merger of APRA (Australian Performing Right Association) and AMCOS (Australian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society), APRA AMCOS supports the music industry by providing various services. These include licensing music for public performance and distribution, as well as offering resources and advocacy for its members.
