Since 1885, Signs Publishing has been printing and publishing books, magazines and a range of printed materials. Beginning with a single hand-operated press in inner city Melbourne, a legacy of quality and dedication to personal service has been crafted for more than a century.

While technology always changes, our values don’t. We have a commitment to the health and wellbeing of those in our community. As a result, we only work with leading Australian experts such as doctors and nutritionists to create books that help you and your family make better food and lifestyle choices. Our products include resources on healthy and happy living, Christian ethics, family medical advice and children’s books.

We do not print for organisations involved in activities that are socially harmful. Our commitment is to produce quality print using the latest technology in a responsible manner. We use a range of inks in our printing, including soy and vegetable-based inks. We recycle our paper waste and aluminium plates and offer environmentally friendly options to our customers. View our printing page.

We also publish a range of books in the following categories: health and wellbeing, lifestyle, nutrition, mental health, inspiring stories, relationships and parenting, spirituality, children and teens and biographies. We offer editing, designing, printing, distributing and marketing services and pay royalties to the author when people purchase the book. View our publishing page for more information!

It’s an enduring difference that’s made us what we are today.

Signs of the Times is the only consistently produced resource in the South Pacific that is primarily designed for a non-churched audience. Whether it’s the new mum at your local school, community member who shows up to your ADRA shop or the young teen with existential questions, Signs of the Times exists for them. It’s the perfect resource to hand to a neighbour, friend or colleague and is a wonderful conversation starter. If you know someone who has questions about faith, Signs of the Times is the perfect starting point. They won’t find Christianese jargon or alienating rhetoric. Instead, they’ll find an invitation to consider the way of Jesus in a way that they’ll find compelling.
