For years, APRA AMCOS has assisted songwriters and composers in receiving royalties for their works and just how much they do for creators and users of music has been recognised as the industry body has received a prestigious award.
APRA AMCOS has won the Australian Dispute Centre's ADR Corporate Team Of The Year award for its innovative dispute resolution project, 'Resolution Pathways', which assists members and licencees to resolve disputes themselves or by external facilitators.
Through the project, introduced in 2015, disputing parties are offered a free consultation with an experienced external dispute facilitator to choose the most appropriate form of resolution.
"In setting up Resolution Pathways, APRA AMCOS’ aim was to provide a fair, independent and transparent dispute resolution process that gives a voice to music creators and music users and streamlines the resolution of those parties’ disputes before they escalate unnecessarily," APRA AMCOS Head of Legal, Corporate & Policy, Jonathan Carter, said.
"Winning this award gives us great confidence that we are on the right path to achieve that goal."
