PressReader Support: Getting started

Log in to PressReader

Publications can be downloaded to your mobile devices for offline reading. Back issues are available for most publications.

To get started you need the following accounts:

  • TAFE NSW account (Your TAFE NSW username and password)
  • PressReader account (Sign up for free)

Find a printable quick start guide below.

Step 1 - Activate Your PressReader Access

When accessing PressReader the first time, you need to log in with your TAFE NSW username and password via an internet browser.

When you click the link to PressReader, it is important that the Learning Bank login window appears and you log in with your TAFE NSW account. If the link takes you through to PressReader without you being required to log in, your access will not be activated. You need to close all browser windows and try again.

If you see the following window stating 30 days of complimentary access, you have successfully logged in (If not, access PressReader with an incognito window if using Chrome Ctrl+shift+N or an InPrivate if using Edge Ctrl+Shift+P).

If you want to download newspapers and magazines for offline reading, you will need to create a PressReader Account and download the mobile app.
