Wiley & Sons Australia

A international publisher of educational and non-fiction books

Wiley Australia is involved in the publishing of non-fiction and educational books throughout Australia. Wiley Australia publishes books from school to tertiary, professional and trade, to atlases and dictionaries. The head office is situated in the Brisbane suburb of Milton and its distribution centre is located at Stafford in Brisbane, with offices in other states, such as Melbourne.

Wiley Australia has three publishing divisions: school, higher education, professional and trade. Within the School division, Wiley Australia publishes textbooks, atlases and dictionaries for secondary schools under the Jacaranda imprint. In the early 1970s, Wiley Australia started the Macquarie Dictionary project and still publishes a range of Macquarie Dictionaries and thesauruses. Key publishing areas of the higher education division include management, marketing and accounting, psychology and education. This division also markets and distributes material published by Wiley companies globally across the majority of subject areas, servicing both Australian and New Zealand universities.

The professional and trade division provides a wide list of local titles in the areas of personal investment, business and general non-fiction, as well as marketing and selling the whole range of titles published by the parent company in the United States and sister companies in the United Kingdom, Canada and Singapore.

John Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd was established in 1954 and is the owned subsidiary of John Wiley & Sons Inc.

Wiley Australia’s acquisition of Wrightbooks and Blackwell in recent years has strengthened the company’s profile and presence in the industry.
