APT helps Australian plays transform into better versions of themselves through development programs for playwrights at all stages of their careers and from many different backgrounds. These programs include workshops, commissions, residencies and masterclasses, often in partnership with other organisations.    
 
APT believes in a world where Australian plays transform those who connect with them – artists, audiences, societies. That’s why we embrace publication, promotion and licensing, leading to more productions and study around the world, not only in leading professional theatres but also in community theatres, schools and universities. 

APT’s catalogue contains more than 2,700 plays representing the work of more than 1,100 playwrights. Featuring the combined catalogues of Australia's leading theatrical publishers, this definitive online destination for Australian playwriting provides theatres, artists, teachers and students everywhere with a simple access point for exceptional, production-ready Australian plays and the transformative stories they tell.
