Welcome to our new website

Welcome to The Australian’s updated and redesigned website.

Welcome to The Australian’s updated and redesigned website.

The changes have been carefully designed to simplify the experience and make it easier to find the features you love, from our award-winning news coverage to your favourite columnists.

Importantly, our new website brings our printed newspaper and our digital content closer together than at any time since The Australian launched its first website back in 1997.

To that end, our website sections now match the newspaper’s sections and liftouts and you will find the newspaper’s distinctive typography across the website. We’ve also increased the width of the website on large screens, giving a real broadsheet feel to the new pages.

As The Australian has developed in the digital age, so too has our journalism and our new website is designed to place that coverage at the centre of your experience.

Whether it be live coverage of breaking news, political analysis that holds the nation’s leaders to account, a gripping podcast or a long read from The Weekend Australian Magazine, our new website brings our content to life on whichever device you choose to use.

Making changes to The Australian is not a task we have taken lightly.

For many of you it’s a part of your daily routine and the trusted source you turn to for critical analysis and coverage of the events shaping our nation, and the world.

We’ve engaged in extensive consultation with our editors, our newsroom and, importantly, you – our subscribers. In October last year we hosted a group of subscribers in Sydney to try out the prototype of the new site for the first time and for the last 4 weeks our new site has been available to subscribers in beta form.

If you are one of the 6000 subscribers who gained early access and provided feedback, thank you for helping us shape our digital future.

We hope you enjoy the new site. While this is a significant change, the work doesn’t stop here and we will be continuing to release new features designed to enrich your experience with The Australian in the coming months.
