About NewsLifeMedia
NewsLifeMedia (News Life Media Pty Ltd) is an Australian lifestyle and news media publisher within the News Corp Australia group, based at 2 Holt Street, Surry Hills in Sydney. It has historically managed a portfolio of digital and print brands covering news, health and wellness, food, fashion, home and lifestyle, including well‑known titles such as news.com.au, Body+Soul and various magazine and specialty sites. As part of News Corp Australia, NewsLifeMedia is tied into the wider News+ network and subscription operations that support metro mastheads like The Australian and the Herald Sun, along with other digital products and e‑commerce offerings.([bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/0366015D%3AAU?utm_source=openai))
A NewsLifeMedia charge usually appears on a bank or card statement when you’ve taken out a digital or print subscription, signed up to a trial that rolled into a paid plan, or made a one‑off purchase tied to one of News Corp Australia’s news or lifestyle brands. Many of these subscriptions bill on a recurring 4‑weekly or monthly cycle and may start with a discounted introductory period (for example, AU$14 every 4 weeks for the first 12 weeks for certain News+ digital plans, then reverting to around AU$28 every 4 weeks) or low “$2 a week” intro pricing that later steps up to the standard rate.([pressreleasepoint.com](https://www.pressreleasepoint.com/full-digital-access-14-billed-every-4-weeks-first-12-weeks-min-cost?utm_source=openai)) You may also see temporary authorization holds when you first subscribe or update your payment method—these are test charges used to verify the card and should drop off automatically within a few days if the transaction is not completed.
If you’re unsure why you were charged by NewsLifeMedia, first log in to the website or app of the News Corp brand you use (for example, The Australian, Herald Sun, or another News+ network site) and check your account’s “Subscriptions” or “Billing” section for active plans and invoices. Then compare the billing currency, amount and date to your bank statement; remember that several titles are processed centrally through News Corp Australia’s subscription systems, so the descriptor may not match the exact publication name. If you still can’t identify the charge, contact News Corp Australia customer service using the main subscriptions/support contacts (for example, via the contact form on newscorpaustralia.com or by calling +61 2 9288 3000, or emailing admin@newscorpaustralia.com) and provide the last four digits of your card, the transaction date and amount so they can locate the account, answer questions, cancel future billing or arrange a refund where appropriate.([newscorpaustralia.com](https://www.newscorpaustralia.com/contact-us/?utm_source=openai))
