The Five Mile Press is an Australian publisher specialising in children’s books, adult non-fiction, Australiana and stationery lines. Founded in 1991, the company quickly became known for its high quality, innovative product and has been building on that reputation ever since.

The Five Mile Press Offices

Today, The Five Mile Press publishes in excess of 200 new books each year and sells to countries all around the world. Many of our popular children’s books, including those by leading artists such as Shirley Barber, Trace Moroney and Robyn Johnson are published in many foreign languages as well as English language editions. We currently publish books in over 27 foreign languages supplied to over 30 different language markets. In addition to this, when world rights to a title are licensed for a particular language, another 20 or so countries are added to our distribution list.

In 2006, The Five Mile Press acquired Brimax Publications, one of the leading names in children’s publishing, and we will be looking to expand their successful range of early learning books for the 0-6 age group.

The Five Mile Press is based in Scoresby, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. Our new modern premises house the warehouse, sales and publishing divisions, as well as a fully computerised administration and customer service office. The company employs over 40 personnel.
