Music is more than a side dish. It's an essential ingredient.

That's the message from International culinary icon Neil Perry AM, who has partnered with OneMusic Australia to champion the value music brings to venues and raise awareness of how music licensing supports the creators behind the soundtrack of Australian businesses.

From setting the atmosphere to helping shape memorable customer experiences, music plays a vital role in hospitality. This campaign aims to help businesses better understand how music licensing supports the creators behind the music that brings venues to life, why it matters, and how easy it is to get licensed.

A record year for WA tourism 👏

Visitors spent $19.2 billion in Western Australia in 2025, with 11 million overnight visitors and $6 billion spent across regional WA.

That’s great news for the State’s hospitality industry, with hotels, pubs, bars and restaurants playing a central role in the visitor economy.

The results also show the value of continued investment in attracting visitors, major events, conferences and business to WA, while ensuring regional communities share in the benefits.
