It’s important to note that the AU review is a volunteer organisation and so we won’t be able to reply to every e-mail, but never hesitate to follow up – and you can see some other e-mail tips below if you’re struggling to get a response from our team. But before that, here are some other contacts for you…

Struggling to get a response from our team? Don’t want to / can’t spend money with the AU? We’re not pay for play, but we are a volunteer team – so we’re limited in what we are able to publish every week, and what we’re able to reply to.

Here’s a few things to keep in mind when pitching to the AU:

  • Though we do publish some news, we are not a news site. We are not racing to be first on a story. So, if you send us a press release, we will see if there’s a way we can angle it accordingly, and chances are it may not end up in the cycle you expect. So a tour announced today may pop up in a feature in a month.
  • We are always looking for exclusive content and unique angles; particularly ones where we can cross verticals – like music and travel! Look at the sort of content we do and see how you can pitch specifically for our audience.
  • You can’t buy reviews, but why not consider premiering a song with us? Please just make sure to give at least 7 days notice, as we have a lot of demand for premieres and at busy times can be booked out a couple of weeks in advance. As of January 2021, we generally premiere no more than two releases a week.
  • Reach out to our ad team to talk partnership opportunities. [email protected].
  • If you’d like to get us over the phone, you can contact us on (02) 4017 12AU (1228). There’s no answering machine message, but be sure to leave a message if you can’t get through to us; we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!
