About the Program

The APRA AMCOS Observership Program offers an opportunity to participate in a 12-month program to build experience and confidence in serving on a Board.  

Applications are now open for our 2026 Board Observership Program:

  • One position is dedicated to an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander APRA writer member.
  • The second position is open to an APRA writer member from another underrepresented community that has had limited access to leadership opportunities due to structural barriers to participation.

What You'll Gain

If selected as an APRA Board Observer, you will:

  • Participate in high-quality, accredited board director training delivered by the Australian Institute for Company Directors (AICD) and The Ethics Centre, through The Observership Program.
  • Join the APRA Board as an Observer for Board meetings held in 2026.
  • Work with an experienced APRA Director as your Board Buddy, meeting before and after each Board meeting for guidance and learning.
  • Learn how the APRA Board operates and makes decisions on behalf of music creator and publisher members.
  • Connect with other Observership Program participants and build a network across the not-for-profit and corporate sectors.
  • Receive support from the dedicated APRA AMCOS team throughout the year.
  • Be accredited by The Observership Program upon completion.

This is a hands-on, rewarding way to grow your professional skills and contribute meaningfully to your community.

Why APRA AMCOS is Offering This

Our vision is to enable self-determination for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander APRA writer members and APRA writer members from underrepresented communities that have historically faced systemic barriers in the music industry.

This initiative also supports greater diversity and inclusion at the governance level within APRA AMCOS.

We are looking for:

  • Experienced music industry professionals who are respected in their communities.
  • Candidates with a passion for music and a demonstrated commitment to contributing to their community.
  • Strong interpersonal relationship skills, professionalism, and the ability to contribute to board discussions when invited.
