Regional Victorian Businesses: Get in Tune with OneMusic’s Licensing Roadshow

OneMusic will be visiting Wangaratta to answer questions from local businesses about music licensing.

The visit is supported by Muldura-born musician Tom Curtain as well as over 100,000 other Australian music creators who assign the copyright to the national licensing body, which in turn collects (and returns to the music creator) licence fees for their music. 

Playing music that is protected by copyright in a business without a licence or permission risks infringing copyright. Unlicensed music use cost a Sydney gym operator $235,000, including damages, fees, interest and legal costs in a Federal Court Ruling in December 2025. The music licence fees for this business were a fraction of these costsand the additional costs awarded by the Judge could have been avoided. 

Hundreds of businesses in the region already hold a OneMusic licence for their use of music. This visit by a Victorian-based Licensing Representative is set to demystify music licensing for the remaining music-loving bars, cafes, shops and tourism businesses.

A OneMusic licence covers the majority of commercially released music, worldwide,allowing businesses to satisfy their copyright obligations.OneMusic is a music rights management organisation for music creators: songwriters, recording artists, music publishers, and record labels.

OneMusic representative Sarah Dore will be in the region at the following times for info sessions:
