Commencing on 31 March 2024, Australian visual artists will be entitled to royalty payments when their work is resold overseas, thanks to a long and hard fought battle to change the Resale Royalty Right Scheme.

Currently visual artists are entitled to a percentage of the price of eligible artworks that are resold commercially for $1000 or more in Australia.
