OneMusic Australia 

• sells music licences to businesses and organisations
• deducts an administration cost of around 13 cents in the dollar and
• passes the rest of the fees direct to music creators.

These important licences permit legal public performance of musical works (songs), sound recordings and music videos.

In Australia the Copyright Act (1968) requires any business who is playing music to have been given permission from the owners of that music before they ‘press play’. There are similar copyright laws in most countries in the world.

A OneMusic Australia licence is one form of permission and follows a common, global system of collecting fees and giving permission. Signing a direct agreement with all copyright owners is another form of permission, but is much less common.

OneMusic started in July 2019. It is a shop-front for APRA AMCOS and PPCA. To save time and effort, songwriters and music publishers (APRA AMCOS) and recording artists and record labels (PPCA) ask these two organisations to

• locate where their music is being played in a business
• give permission through a licence and
• charge a blanket fee for this use

so they can rightfully earn money from the work they have created and the ‘products’ (Intellectual property) they own.

The Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA) is a national association representing finance and mortgage loan writers throughout Australia. In the interests of members and their clients, the FBAA monitors legislation and makes representations to Ministers and Members of Parliament both state and federal as appropriate.

We work with training organisations to provide training programs to the industry and keep our members up-to-date with changes to government legislation and regulations.

Our mission: Continuing as the voice of Finance Industry Professionals ensuring the highest standards of education, compliance, integrity and professionalism of its Members

The Association of Independently Owned Financial Professionals [AIOFP] was formed in 1998 to represent the interests of Financial Advisers who either work with a practice that operates an Australian Financial Services License [AFSL] or operate their own AFSL with no Institutional ownership. Due to the uncertainty in the industry the AIOFP now has membership categories for aligned Advisers to join.

The AIOFP Principal Charter is to act in the best interests of its Members. Considering Advisers must act in the best interests of their clients, the AIOFP Board believes the symbiotic relationship between

Members and their clients satisfies and protects all parties.

The AIOFP has over 6,000 Advisers working for their practice members. Member benefits include a highly competitive PI cover, new client referrals, Bi annual conferences, CPD webinars, commodity discounts and State networking events to share information with like minded professionals.

A major benefit for Members is the strong political advocacy the Board provides to protect the interests of Members and clients in Canberra.

The AIOFP has estalished a strategic alliance with TAX SUPER AUSTRALIA [TSA] formally the Tax Payer Association established in 1919. TSA have around 4,000 Accountant/Tax Agent members and a range of online Tax, Super and CPD services available to AIOFP members. An ongoing objective is to link up TSA Members wanting an Advice relationship with AIOFP members.

Company Overview

At Navig8Biz, we believe business is personal — and growth should feel like coming home to yourself, not burning out chasing a number. Founded by serial entrepreneur and circle builder Joanne Brooks, Navig8Biz is a business education and mentoring company created for women who are done with cookie-cutter strategies and ready for real clarity.

Our mission?

To help women step out of survival mode and lead from the centre. We blend soulful strategy, lived experience, and systems that actually work — no fluff, no hype. Just real conversations, real support, and real tools to build a business (and life) with meaning.

What We Offer

Navig8Biz offers a pathway—not just a program.

– Navig8 Circle: Our signature monthly membership centred on rhythm, not rush. Bite-sized learning, practical tools, and a bold, warm, wildly supportive community.
– Her Transformation: A premium program for women ready to rise — from the messy middle into legacy leadership. Intimate, strategic, powerful.
– Elevate Business Consulting: One-to-one and small group consulting to help women scale with structure and smarts.
– Ducere Global Business School: In partnership, we deliver globally recognised MBAs and business programs grounded in real-world projects.

Who We Support

We support women-led businesses that are growing, shifting, or evolving—especially those in education, coaching, training, consulting, and professional services.

These are women ready to stop doing it all alone—seeking clarity, structure, and support to lead with heart while getting things done. They have big visions and want sustainable growth, not burnout. The Navig8 Circle helps them regroup and reconnect, while Her Transformation takes them deeper into strategy and leadership.
