Morning PostMembers

Everything we make.
All yours.

Our daily newsletter is free because of our members. We're not owned by a big media conglomerate, we're a bootstrapped, reader supported, Australian owned business. As a thank you, we've built a collection of members only perks worth over $500 that you can explore down below.

Your daily Morning Post stays free — for you and for everyone. Membership is for the extras the email could never carry.
What's inside

Ready the moment you join.

The Energy Bill Check result screen: a gas bill like yours could have been $441, about $193 less

Energy Bill Check

Upload your gas or electricity bill and see whether a cheaper plan exists for your postcode — checked against the government's own plan data. No commissions, unlimited checks, and one good result covers the year's membership on its own. How it works →

Daily Brain Training: a training score of 599 with a 12-day streak and today's three-exercise workout

Daily Brain Training

Ten minutes a morning across six quick exercises — speed, memory, attention and name recall — with a fresh lineup every day, streaks and personal bests. Alongside the free daily puzzles you already know. How it works →

The Just-In-Case Folder workbook

Just-In-Case Folder & My Life Story

Get the important things down on paper. The Just-In-Case Folder (both editions) and My Life Story — print them as often as you like, for as long as you're a member.

The Family Tree Builder showing three generations of one family

Family Tree Builder

Build your family tree one person at a time and keep the stories with it — the memories, not just the dates. Print it for the wall, or a page for one person worth framing. Private to your family, and yours to download any time. How it works →

The Garden Planner: this week in the garden for postcode 3018, cool zone, with what to sow or plant in September

Garden Planner

Tell it your postcode and it tells you what to sow, plant and pick this week — tuned to your climate zone and frost dates, with a printable planting calendar and a plant guide full of proper Australian varieties. How it works →

A Morning Post class lesson playing: Watercolour for Beginners, part 1 of 5

Classes Collection

All 18 classes. Learn something useful five minutes at a time — the Age Pension, superannuation, wills, MyGov, smartphones, scams, watercolour, cooking, family history and more, narrated in plain English.

The Holiday Phrasebook: Italian phrases with Hear it and Slowly buttons, 42 days to go

Holiday Phrasebook

Tell it where you're going and when, and it teaches you enough Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese or Indonesian to order, ask, thank and get by. Ten minutes a day until you fly, clear audio on every phrase, and a pocket card to print and take. Not fluency. Enough. How it works →

Morning Post Mysteries — the four cases

Morning Post Mysteries

All four cases — Blackwattle Station, Storm at Wye Inn, Vanishing on the Ghan and the members-only Curtain at the Theatre Royal — to solve over a slow afternoon at the kitchen table.

A Member Birthdays section in the morning edition wishing three members a happy birthday by first name and suburb

Birthday Shoutout

Tell us your day once and every year we'll wish you a happy birthday by name in the morning edition — first name and suburb only, never your age. Completely optional, and a lovely surprise for anyone who knows you.

And it keeps growing — members vote on what we build next, and everything new joins your membership the day it's ready, at no extra cost.

The maths

About $550 of value. One $79 price.

Bought one at a time, what's inside would cost around $547 in your first year alone — the workbooks and mysteries once, the tools every year after. Membership is $79 for all of it, for the whole household. And a single Energy Bill Check that finds a cheaper plan can pay for the year by itself.

From members and readers

You'd be in good company.

"I'm happy to chip in, but I'm also interested in all the extras you include with an inexpensive membership."

A member, on what made them join · September 2026

"I read every day. It's not overwhelming and is perfect for me in this world at the moment. I like the fact that I'm not being bombarded — it's a gentle way to keep me up to date."

A member, on what made them join · September 2026
★★★★★

"Great idea, everyone should have one. It will save an awful lot of trouble for whoever has to sort out your affairs."

Mary · on the Just-In-Case Folder · August 2026

The first two are notes members left when they joined. The third is a reader's review of a workbook that's now part of membership.

Nathan Murphy
A note from the editor

Why I'm building this for Morning Post readers.

Morning Post is something I work on by myself every day — there's no media group behind it and no investors. This is my full-time work, and it's how I support my family.

The daily email is free and always will be. But readers keep asking for more than an email can carry, so rather than charging you separately every time we make something, membership is one plain price for all of it — everything we've made, everything we make next, and the best way to support the work and keep it coming.

— Nathan

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Is the daily email going behind a paywall?

No. Never. The Morning Post you get at six every morning is free, stays free, and stays exactly as it is for everyone. Membership is only for the extras — classes, games, workbooks — that an email could never carry.

Do members still see ads in the daily email?

No. The sponsor spot and our own membership reminders come out of your edition from the next morning after you join. Everything else stays exactly as it is — the news, what's on, the puzzle, the smile. It applies to the address you joined with; if you read Morning Post on a different one, reply to any edition and we'll move it across.

What exactly does the 60-day guarantee mean?

Join, use everything for up to two months, and if it isn't worth it, email us for a full refund of the year — no forms, no reasons required. After that, you can still cancel anytime and keep access until the end of what you've paid for.

I'm already a Founding Supporter. What happens to me?

You were a member before we had the word for it — and it's ready for you now. Membership is included in what you already pay, kept at your price for as long as you like. To let yourself in, go to the members' link page, type the email address you support us with, and your key arrives in a moment. Nothing more to pay and nothing to set up. If it doesn't turn up, reply to any Morning Post email and I'll sort it the same day.

I've already bought the Folder or another workbook. Do I pay twice?

No — we look after the people who backed us early. If you've bought something from us before and decide to become a member, reply to any Morning Post email after you join and we'll make it right.

"Covers your household" — how does that work?

One membership, one key. We email you a members' link; share it with the person you live with and it opens everything for both of you, on the phone, the iPad and the computer.

I'm not very good with technology.

There's no password to remember. We email you a link; you click it; you're in. It works on the phone, the iPad and the computer, in large print, and if you're stuck you can reply to any email and a person (me) will help.

How do I cancel?

One email — reply "cancel" to any Morning Post edition and it's done the same day, no phone call, no "are you sure" gauntlet. You keep access until the end of what you've paid for.

What if I only want one thing — just the workbooks, say?

Membership is the one way we offer everything we make — one plain price rather than a shop full of separate ones. At $79 for the lot, it costs about what two workbooks alone would, and the rest is there whenever you're ready for it.

Everything we make. $79 a year.
