OneMusic

OneMusic is Australia’s music-licensing initiative of APRA AMCOS and PPCA, helping businesses, venues and organisations obtain permission to play copyright-protected music. Its licences support legal music use in commercial settings and enable royalties to reach the artists and rights holders whose work contributes to business success. OneMusic caters to different ways of using music, including featured, live and background music, or a combination. Licence costs depend on factors such as business type, music devices and the music played.

The organisation helps businesses understand when a licence is needed, how copyright rules apply and how to choose suitable coverage. Its website provides licence information, FAQs, news, practical music guidance and details about fee distribution, as well as access to webinars and stories from businesses and industry partners. OneMusic also works with partner associations and affiliates to help organisations check their licensing needs. Serving Australian businesses across sectors such as retail, hospitality, fitness and dance, OneMusic offers a central route to securing permission to play music in business environments.
