Australian Book Review, founded in 1961, is a bona fide non-profit organisation with offices in Melbourne and Adelaide. Peter Rose is the Editor, and Morag Fraser is Chairperson of the Board. ABR aims to foster high critical standards, to publish outstanding new writing and to preserve due recognition of literary values and a full appreciation of Australia's literary heritage.

Publishing a literary review of this kind in a small market is always challenging. Revenue from subscribers, advertisers and funding bodies is vital, but to fulfil its work and to broaden its readership and influence ABR also seeks donations from discerning readers who like what it does and who share ABR's commitment to literary values and Australian writing. Accordingly, we seek donations of any size to complement our Patrons' Program.

The Australian Government has approved it as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). All donations of more than $2 are tax deductible and are deposited in the Australian Book Review Gift Fund, to which any donations should be made. Tax receipts are issued promptly.
