Deadlines for registering programs
Screenrights members can register programs at any time. However, if you wish to be paid royalties as soon as they’re available, we recommend that you register your program as soon as it is made.
We release new royalties for payment each December. This is our largest payment run, and members whose titles are registered with us by the end of September usually receive first payments.
Payments are then made throughout the year on the basis of quarterly runs (March, June, September, December). Again, members whose titles are registered wih us by the close of the month prior, will usually receive first payments (February, May, August, and September for the December payments).
Deadlines for receiving royalties
All royalties from Australia and New Zealand must be claimed within a 6-year period. Any undistributed royalties are forfeited and reallocated.
