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:
“Know how to be content and you will never be disgraced; practice self-restraint and you will never be in danger.”
—Chinese proverb.
Laozi.
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“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)
