Cancel The Age: Easy Method
What is The Age
Overview
The Age is a Melbourne-based news publisher offering digital and print editions, part of Nine Publishing. It provides daily news, opinion, features and specialised content for paying subscribers.
Who this guide is for
This guide explains how to cancel The Age subscription from New Zealand, what to expect about access and refunds, and how to contact the publisher in Australia if needed.
How to cancel The Age
Cancel via App Store (iOS)
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
- Select "The Age" and tap "Cancel Subscription".
- Cancellation stops future auto-renewal; access continues until the end of the current paid period.
- Reference: App Store guide.
Cancel via Google Play (Android)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap Menu → Subscriptions, select "The Age".
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and follow prompts.
- This also stops future renewals; you keep access for the paid period.
- Reference: Google Play guide.
Cancel via The Age website (direct subscription)
- Log in at theage.com.au and go to My Account.
- Navigate to Billing, Subscription or Manage Account and follow the cancellation prompts.
- Alternatively, request cancellation by contacting support (e.g. email android@theage.com.au or phone support listed on the site).
- Note: cancellation requests should be made at least 72 hours before the next billing date for web subscriptions.
- Reference: Direct cancellation steps.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
When you cancel, future auto-renewals stop but access normally continues until the end of the current paid period.
For app-store purchases the platform manages the billing and access period; for direct subscriptions The Age manages the account.
Data and account status
Your account remains on file; your profile and settings may be retained according to The Age's privacy policy.
If you later resubscribe you generally regain digital access without creating a new account, but saved preferences may vary.
Will I get a refund?
General publisher policy
Under Nine Publishing's subscription terms (which cover The Age), subscription fees are generally non-refundable unless explicitly stated.
Refunds are uncommon for interruptions or technical issues unless the publisher accepts responsibility or terms specify otherwise.
Exceptions and cooling-off
- If the subscription was sold by telemarketing, Nine's terms indicate a 10-business-day cooling-off period may allow a full or prorated refund for prepaid annual plans.
- Check your purchase method and request a refund promptly if you believe you qualify under the cooling-off rule.
- Reference: Subscription terms.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
How New Zealand law can help
If you purchased from New Zealand you still have consumer protection rights under New Zealand law against misleading conduct and unfair contract terms.
Local consumer agencies can advise on refunds and disputes when a business is uncooperative.
Practical steps if you have a problem
- Contact The Age (publisher in Australia) first; request written confirmation of cancellation or refund decision.
- If unresolved, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute unauthorised or incorrect charges.
- Seek advice from New Zealand consumer organisations (for example Citizens Advice Bureau or the Commerce Commission website) for next steps.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some users report that subscribing through Google Play can make unsubscribing straightforward via the "Manage Subscriptions" interface.
That route centralises subscription control in the Google account, which some find easier than contacting the publisher.
Negative reports
Other users report misleading pricing and difficulty cancelling - e.g., rates advertised weekly but charged monthly, or cancellations requiring phone calls during business hours.
Some customers describe unclear unsubscribe procedures or long waits for support, producing frustration and negative reviews.
Documentation checklist
What to collect before you cancel
- Account email and username used to subscribe to The Age.
- Proof of purchase: order confirmation, receipt, or bank/credit card statement showing the charge.
- Subscription source: App Store, Google Play or direct web purchase (this determines refund path).
Documents to keep after cancelling
- Written confirmation of cancellation from The Age or the app store (email or screenshot).
- Dates: last payment date and billing cycle end date to verify access period.
- Any communication with support, including emails and case or reference numbers.
Common mistakes
Assuming cancellation is immediate
A common mistake is expecting immediate loss of access after cancelling. In most cases cancellation stops future billing but access continues for the paid period.
Check your billing end date so you know when access actually ends.
Contacting the wrong support channel
Another error is contacting The Age support while the subscription is managed by Apple or Google. App-store subscriptions must be managed through the store, not the publisher.
Always confirm whether your purchase was made via the App Store, Google Play or directly on The Age website before contacting support.
