How to cancel The Australian

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling The Australian — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if The Australian bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Add to Chrome — Free

Cancel The Australian in 6 steps

  1. Sign in at theaustralian.com.au from a web browser.
  2. Open 'My Account' → 'Manage Subscription' / 'Subscription'.
  3. Full cancellation often requires contacting the subscription team — use the online cancellation flow or call 1800 070 535.
  4. Decline retention and discount offers to continue.
  5. Cancel before your renewal date — discounted intro rates convert to full price automatically.
  6. Get a cancellation confirmation and keep it.

What happens after you cancel

You keep digital access until the end of the current billing period, then it stops renewing. The Australian's intro offers convert to full price, so cancel before the intro ends. Cancellation may need a phone call or the online contact flow. No refund for the current period is typical.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions section instead of on theaustralian.com.au.

Charged after cancelling The Australian?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from The Australian — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will The Australian charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, The Australian keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling The Australian.
Does cancelling The Australian delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in The Australian's settings.
How do I know my The Australian cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from The Australian and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.
