ABOUT US

What We Do With The Money

After our administration costs are taken out, the licence fees we collect are distributed amongst three groups:

  1. the owner or exclusive licensee of the copyright in the recording (usually a record label) who is registered with us as a licensor
  2. Australian recording artists who performed on an Australian recording and who are registered with us as artist;
  3. the PPCA Performers’ Trust Foundation (a trust fund that makes grants for the encouragement of music and the performing arts).  

By collecting licence fees and passing them on to the people who provide the music in our lives, we’re not only protecting their rights, we’re making sure that they can continue to make music for us all to enjoy.
