Australia's Copyright Agency CEO Adam Suckling (pictured, below) will be stepping down from his role in February 2022, following his decision to not renew his contract for another three-year term after already six years in the job.
“The Board thank Adam for his dedication and commitment to the Agency, and for the strong leadership he has shown over his six years as CEO. He has very successfully managed the organisation in every way, enhancing the work of the Agency and its delivery of value to members," said Harrison.
Helping make big things happen
Said Suckling: "I love this role, copyright and Copyright Agency, are so critical to helping make the big things happen: facilitating access to the world’s content, supporting journalism, helping our talented writers create great novels or inspiring education works, helping publishers invest and employ Australians, and contributing to the practice of Australia’s extraordinary visual artists."
Added Suckling: "I would like to thank the senior management team and everyone in the agency for their support, dedication and hard work. I would also like to thank licensees, who pay for the use of content, as well as our 37,000 members who create such great material. It is an honour to represent them."
Copyright Agency provides licenses for the use of copyright material such as text, images and art and manages the educational and government licenses for the use of text and images, as well as the resale royalty scheme for artists. Members include authors, poets and playwrights, journalists, publishers, visual artists, photographers, cartoonists and illustrators and surveyors.
In June 2021, Copyright Agency distributed more than A$70 million of payments from ten different license sources, making it its biggest payment month of the year.
