Reminder - APRA LPRs

If you write songs, and play them live there maybe money waiting for you!

It’s time to submit your Live Performance Returns (LPRs) - you've got until 31 August!

And we know you've been busy! According to a study* by Live Performance Australia, Australia's Live Music Industry is thriving, contributing $1.1 billion to the Australian economy.

In November last year APRA distributed $4 million to approximately 18,000 songwriters.

Submitting your LPRs is an essential step in the process to receiving your royalty payments for live performances - they let us know what you've performed, where you've performed and how often.

Jump online, head to the Member Log-in, and complete your Live Performance Return for performances during the 09-10 financial year (1 July 2009 - 30 June 2010). Submit your LPR by Tuesday 31 August, and in November you will receive your royalties.
