Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to calculate, collect and distribute music publishing income. It involves monitoring and reporting on the use of published work.

The unit applies to those 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 include songwriters, composers and music publishing companies.

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