Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to calculate, collect and distribute publishing income.

It applies to individuals who operate as music publishers, employees of collection societies, and artist managers. Collection societies, such as the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA), collect licence fees for the use of music by broadcasters and other entities, and distribute them as royalties to music copyright holders. These could be songwriters, composers or music publishing companies.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
