? input arrangements ? being the assignment of performing rights by members to APRA and the terms upon which membership of APRA is granted;
? output arrangements ? being the licensing arrangements between APRA and the users of musical works;
? distribution arrangements ? being the arrangements pursuant to which APRA distributes to its members the fees that it has collected from licensees/users; and
? overseas arrangements ? being the reciprocal arrangements between APRA and overseas collecting societies pursuant to which each grants the other the right to licence works in their repertoires.
The arrangements were first authorised by the Australian Competition Tribunal in 2000.
