Australian Playboy featured similar content to the lead US edition, and included interviews, feature articles and entertainment reviews. The magazine would rely heavily on the US edition for pictorials, and thus reprinted many pictorials featuring popular US Playmates and celebrities including Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak and Anna Nicole Smith.
An Australian Playmate of the Year would be crowned annually.
The first edition featured Rosemary Paul on the cover and featured her in pictorial. Notable Australian celebrities who have appeared in the magazine include:
- Rachel Hunter: supermodel (New Zealander)
- Emma Harrison: Neighbours actress
- Melissa George: Home and Away actress
- Dannii Minogue: international popstar and X Factor and Australia's Got Talent judge
- Fiona Horne: celebrity witch, writer, later contestant on Celebrity Survivor
- Kym Wilson: actress
- Gabrielle Richens: model, actress, TV presenter
- Wendy Botha: surfer
- Lynda Stoner: actress
- Joanne Capper: wife of Warwick Capper
- Jodie Young: TV presenter
- Tracy Lee: model
- Bindy Paxton: infamous for appearing on A Current Affair
One notable omission was Elle Macpherson, who posed nude for the US magazine, but was not featured in Australian Playboy. To date, the biggest selling edition of Australian Playboy is the one with Dannii Minogue on the cover.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?
If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
