Nine today announces a new era in Australia’s food and drinks culture, with the launch of the Good Food app, a premium subscription-based digital offering that promises to enhance the dining experiences of food lovers.
Drawing on the trusted expertise of the Good Food brand, the app will be available from November as a standalone subscription and as part of Nine’s Premium Digital packages for subscribers of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
For the first time, Australia’s annual bible for restaurant reviews and the home of the Hats, the Good Food Guide, will be available in interactive digital form housed on the app.
Featuring 10,000 recipes by Australia’s best and most trusted chefs, the Good Food app is designed to cater to the needs of food enthusiasts, whether they are preparing meals at home or seeking out the perfect restaurant. With a focus on utility and ease, the app offers an array of features that take the guesswork out of meal planning and dining decisions.
Become a better cook with Good Food’s Masterclass series by Adam Liaw, and tap into cooking tips and tricks from big-name chefs and recipe creators including Recipe TinEats, Rick Stein, Karen Martini, Neil Perry and Julia Busuttil Nishimura.
Edited by Erina Starkey, the Good Food app will allow users to discover their next favourite dining experience by searching trusted and independent reviews across various cuisines, price points, styles and suburbs. Good Food Guide reviews can be discovered via a dynamic map and a location-based “nearby” function, meaning that wherever a reader is, there is always something new to discover.
Readers can also browse venues through signature Guide collections, including one hat, two hat and three hat recommendations, Critics’ Picks, and lists of the best cafes, bars and pubs.
The Good Food app will include regular weekly reviews and with a daily feed of Good Food stories, there’s also a constant update of restaurant news, including what’s just opened and Good Food columns such as Eat streets and Sandwich watch.
“It takes a village to build an experience like this and over the past year, our product, design, UX, technology, editorial, audience, commercial, brand and marketing teams have worked together to build an experience deserving of Australia’s authority on food,” said Stu Fagg, Director of Product, Publishing.
“We have a long-term strategy for this product – the launch in November will be just the start. The Good Food app will be continuously improved with regular updates and new features that will bring delight and utility to our customers and leverage emerging technologies.”
Nine’s Head of Good Food, Sarah Norris, said the Good Food app is a gamechanger for accessing Australia’s most premium food content.
“If you’ve ever thought it would be handy to have a Good Food Guide reviewer on speed dial, this app is for you,” said Norris. “The Guide has been Australia’s most respected restaurant bible for more than 40 years, and now, for the first time – and in an exciting evolution for the Good Food brand – its 900 plus reviews are available in interactive digital form in the Good Food app.”
“The app’s functionality, including dynamic map and a location-based “nearby” function, means there’s always trusted advice on hand (and in your hand). With money tighter than ever, having guidance on what’s worth your dollars in a sea of options, and be able to trust those recommendations, makes the Good Food app essential.”
The launch of the app marks a significant step forward for Nine as it expands its digital offerings, further integrating its authoritative food content into an intuitive, personalised platform.
“Nine aims to continually evolve the app, adding new features and deeper integration with commercial partners,” said Jo Clasby, Nine’s Director of Sales – Total Publishing. “These include exclusive sponsorship opportunities, giving brands the chance to connect with users in meaningful ways while being associated with the most premium food brand in the country.”

17 October 2024: Nine Entertainment (Nine) has today released an independent review of its workplace practices and culture.
The review, conducted by leading organisational culture firm, Intersection, involved a company-wide survey in addition to comprehensive interviews held with members of the TV News & Current Affairs department.
The Nine Board received the Intersection report today and, in the interests of transparency, has released it in full to Nine’s 5000-strong workforce and shared it publicly. The report will inform the work underway to strengthen Nine’s organisational and workplace culture.
The report found that Nine has a systemic issue with abuse of power and authority; bullying, discrimination and harassment; and sexual harassment.
Driving these behaviours is a lack of leadership accountability; power imbalances; gender inequality and a lack of diversity; and significant distrust in leaders at all levels of the business.
The report has made 22 recommendations, prioritised into foundational, intermediate and advanced changes required for the reset of culture at Nine.
After considering the report today, the Nine Board committed to implementing all 22 recommendations, and has requested management to provide the Board and employees a comprehensive action plan to uplift the company’s culture during November 2024.
Nine Chair Catherine West said: “Today is an incredibly difficult day for Nine as we confront these findings and reflect on serious cultural issues as an organisation. The behaviour outlined in the report is unacceptable. Abuse of power, bullying, sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct is not okay. This behaviour has no place at Nine.
“We acknowledge that too many of our past and present employees have been harmed by poor workplace culture, the prevalence of inappropriate workplace behaviours, and an inadequate response in the past from Nine to those behaviours.
“To any individual who has experienced inappropriate conduct that does not meet the values of Nine, we are deeply sorry. On behalf of the Board, I unreservedly apologise.
“The strength and courage these individuals have shown in sharing their stories as part of this process will allow us to move forward as an organisation with a clear understanding of where we went wrong and their insights will help strengthen Nine’s culture for the better. For that, we thank them.
“Despite the proactive culture change agenda already underway, the reality is much more needs to be done and a cultural reset is required. Nine’s Board and leadership team are united in their commitment to accelerating and driving the required change.”
Nine Acting Chief Executive Officer Matt Stanton said: “The Intersection report makes for hard reading for the many people who love working for Nine and all that we stand for. It was personally distressing for me to read these stories from our people. The behaviour experienced by many of our people right across the business is not acceptable in any workplace and falls well below what our people should expect in the work environment.
“While it is important that today all of us at Nine take a moment to reflect, we also move forward with a resolve to do better. We have a responsibility to our people to create a safe and respectful work environment to ensure they can perform at their best. Our people deserve nothing less.”
Intersection Principal Natasha de Silva said: “This report reflects the findings from the most comprehensive review of culture ever undertaken in the Australian media sector. While our review contains sobering findings, the strong survey participation rate is an indication of the willingness of the Nine workforce to be part of the cultural change.
“The recommendations made by the review are intended to build a safe, respectful and inclusive culture at Nine into the future. I am encouraged by the Board and management’s commitment to transparency demonstrated by releasing the review report in full as well as their commitment to implementing the recommendations.”
Melbourne’s most widely read and trusted newspaper, The Age, marks a historic milestone today as it celebrates 170 years of publication — a remarkable journey that cements its place among some of the world’s oldest metropolitan newspapers.
To honour this legacy, a special commemorative wrap-around in today’s paper will highlight The Age‘s lifelong bond with Melburnians, its deep connection to the city, and how its quality journalism has chronicled the state’s triumphs, trials, and transformations across generations.
A Look Inside the 170th Anniversary Edition
The 170th anniversary edition of The Age features special content that reflects upon and celebrates the paper’s past, present, and future:
Editor Patrick Elligett offers insights into The Age‘s evolution and its path forward, affirming the paper’s commitment to fearless reporting.
Acclaimed investigative journalist Nick McKenzie shares a personal reflection on the crucial role of public interest journalism in shaping society.
Tony Wright takes readers back to 1854, recounting the founding of The Age during a pivotal year in Melbourne’s history.
Senior reporter Michael Bachelard delves into the history of the newspaper’s investigations unit, which has uncovered stories that led to Royal Commissions and Inquiries.
A tribute to Nancy Sibtain, the 97-year-old cryptic crossword legend, celebrating her decades of puzzling readers.
A special quiz by CBD columnist Stephen Brook tests readers’ knowledge of Melbourne’s history and quirks.
Warwick McFadyen revisits The Age editorials on landmark issues, including capital punishment, the republic, same-sex marriage, and major elections.
Iconic figures from the world of arts, politics, sport, and food share cherished memories of the newspaper’s impact; and
Readers’ letters offer heartfelt reflections on what The Age means to them, painting a picture of the paper’s lasting influence.
A Legacy Woven Into Melbourne’s DNA
Founded by John and Henry Cooke in 1854, The Age was later acquired by Ebenezer and David Syme in 1856. Under David Syme’s visionary leadership, the paper grew alongside the city and state, becoming an essential part of Melbourne’s identity for the past 170 years.
The Age now stands tall among a select group of long-standing newspapers worldwide, alongside titles such as The Sydney Morning Herald (1831), the UK’s The Guardian (1821), and the US’s New York Times (1851).
From its inaugural edition which rolled off the printing press in Melbourne’s Exhibition Hall on October 17, 1854, The Age promised to be a publication “dedicated to the record of great movements, advocacy of free institutions, diffusion of truth, advancement of man”. This responsibility has not wavered over the past 170 years, with The Age‘s commitment to public interest journalism that speaks truth to power as strong as ever.
Its world-class, fearless reporting has uncovered stories that have led to Royal Commissions, Inquiries, police charges and high-profile civil and criminal convictions, with no publication able to claim to have done more to hold power to account in Australia in recent years.
Editor Patrick Elligett said, “The team at The Age is immensely proud of our masthead’s great history and traditions, but also hungry for innovation and eager to find new ways to fulfil our duty to readers. I am confident the coming years will be our best yet.”
Join us in celebrating 170 years of a paper that remains as integral to Melbourne’s story as the city itself.
The wrap-around marking the 170th anniversary of The Age is now on sale with online coverage starting from 5:00am AEDT, Thursday 17 October.
