Announcement

After a review of its magazine business, CSIRO Publishing, the national science agency’s editorially independent publishing arm, has made the difficult decision to stop the production of Double Helix magazine.

Subscribers will receive a refund for the balance of their outstanding subscription, with the last print publication and online newsletters being distributed in June 2025.

Subscription refunds

If you have issues remaining in your current subscription, we will be working with our team to organise refunds. Depending on how you purchased your subscription, here are the next steps: 

• If you purchased your subscription directly from CSIRO Publishing and paid by credit card, you will be automatically credited for the balance of your subscription 
• If you purchased your subscription via an agent, you would need to contact them to organise your refund
• If you are a school or library and purchased via EFT or paid on invoice through your school account, we will be in touch with you shortly

CSIRO is committed to delivering a service offering that continues to demonstrate the value of science and capture and share knowledge now and for future generations, including through our educational programs and initiatives.
