The Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) is an organization that represents songwriters, composers, and music publishers in Australia and New Zealand. It ensures that its members receive royalties when their music is performed publicly, whether in live venues, on the radio, or through digital platforms. APRA also plays a role in promoting the interests of its members by advocating for copyright laws and providing resources for music creators. The organization works to support the growth of the music industry in the region, helping to foster a vibrant creative community.
