ASA News

The ASA in recent years went through a very exciting transformation, from a committee setup to a more professional structure of a Board and a paid executive. We still operate as a non-profit organisation, but now employ part-time office staff to help raise the level of service available to all members. The Board, consisting of unpaid volunteers elected annually at the AGM, consistently work at seeking further industry and strategic alliances to maximise recognition of and benefits to the Australian songwriting community. The ASA, Australia’s only truly national songwriters’ association, is buoyed by power of the song and the extensive amount of talent to be found in this nation.

The ASA National Office is located at 50 Enmore Rd, Newtown (Sydney).

Industry News

A valued sponsor of the ASA’s Songwriter of the Year Award in the Australian Songwriting Contest is APRA (Australasian Performing Rights Association). This organisation provides composers and publishers with the invalable service of collecting their copyright fees and ensuring the money gets passed on to them. This is why APRA membership is essential for all songwriters. It’s free – just go to www.apra.com.au
