You'll get unlimited access to all of our content, plus access to exclusive eBooks, archives, events, discounts and rewards. We look forward to your support.

What is a digital subscription?

A digital subscription gives you unlimited access to the award winning journalism of The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. As a digital subscriber, you also get access to exclusive features, benefits and content to enhance your experience.

There are four packages to choose from to suit your reading habits, and you can choose to change or cancel at anytime.

What devices are supported?

Digital subscriptions are available for desktop, laptops, tablet devices and Smartphones.

For our tablet apps, you can purchase a subscription either as part of a value package on our website, or as a stand-alone via the App Store for iPad and Google Play for Android.

What if I already get a newspaper home delivered?

If you get The Age and/or The Sunday Age home delivered at least two days a week, your subscription includes full digital access at no extra cost. You can activate your free access.

More frequently asked questions

  • How are the digital subscriptions billed?

    Your digital subscription will be direct-debited monthly from your nominated credit card. Your billing day each month will be the same day you started your subscription with us to your nominated credit card.

  • What are the payment options?

    All our digital subscription packages require payment by Direct Debit. You can choose to make payments using any Visa, MasterCard, American Express or your nominated PayPal account. Payments will be direct debited from your nominated account, in advance, each month.

  • Can I still read articles if I do not subscribe?

    Yes. Visitors are most welcome. You can enjoy 30 free articles each month on our website. You can also visit the homepage as often as you wish and view as many photo galleries and videos as you like without those articles counting in your free article allocation.
