Looking for AWGACS? You're in the right place.

We've rebranded to the Authorship Collecting Society Australia Aotearoa (ACSAA), a name that better reflects who we represent: screen authors across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

Nothing changes for members.

WHAT IS ACSAA?

The Authorship Collecting Society Australia Aotearoa (ACSAA), previously known as the Australian Writers' Guild Authorship Collecting Society (AWGACS), was established in 1996 as the copyright collecting society for screen authors from Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Since then, we have collected over $33 million dollars for members and authors from around the world.
