Australian Turfgrass Management magazine aims to support turfgrass management professionals by providing technical information, industry news and events, profiles, critical appraisals of new products and services, and general information to help them improve their professional recognition and employment.

Since its first edition in February-March 1999, Australian Turfgrass Management magazine has developed into the leading publication for the Australian turfgrass industry both in terms of its content and design. Managed by Scott Petersen, edited by Brett Robinson and designed by Jo Corne, ATM magazine is a bi-monthly publication which has a print run of just under 5000.

Australian Turfgrass Management magazine includes regular features from some of the turf industry's leading experts, as well as provides a forum for the state superintendent associations and TGAA state associations to communicate with the industry. A dedicated trade section looks at new products to hit the market each edition, while the latest in turfgrass research from around Australia and the world is regularly featured.
