Payment Standards
Workshops
The below rates are based on recommended fees from the Australian Society of Authors.
Workshops take considerable preparation time and include artists' intellectual property. If a recording of the workshop is continually made available online, the ability of an artist to book future income producing the same or similar workshops may be undermined. Where a workshop recording is available online the recommendation is to add 10% to the workshop fee for each week that the recording is available.
Note: the first annual increase to the Payment Standards took effect on 1 July 2024. We appreciate it may take some organisations time to adjust.
