The Australian Screen Directors Authorship Collecting Society Ltd (ASDACS) represents film, television and audiovisual directors, in the collection and distribution of royalties that arise from the screening of their works due to their rights and entitlements - here and around the world. 

ASDACS proudly works alongside the Australian Directors Guild (ADG) and Directors & Editors Guild of Aotearoa New Zealand (DEGANZ) in the fight for greater rights for directors and are part of a global network driven by CISAC to achieve an inalienable and un-assignable right to remuneration for authors around the world.

To continue to build and future proof our film industry in a world of online content we need creators to be equipped to benefit from the demise of traditional broadcast and the rise of online content consumption. 

To support its members, ASDACS has launched a campaign to adjust the way directors are paid so that revenue from copyright reflects the way we consume content in Australia. More details may be found here
