After twelve months of intense lobbying by APRA AMCOS and the Australian Guild of Screen Composers in partnership with producers, writers, directors and the documentary, post-production and visual effects screen sector, new legislation will see a significant boost to local screen production, and enhance the livelihoods of screen composers.

Yesterday parliament passed legislation that not only increased the Producer Offset for television productions from 20 to 30 per cent but also removed proposed amendments that would damage the work of local screen composers and small productions and documentaries.
