An Australian edition of Zoo was introduced on 27 February 2006 with a special promotional issue that was free of charge. The first official issue came out a week later on 20 February 2006. It features Krystal Forscutt and David Boon as columnists, and much the same features as its British counterpart, except the sport commentary is mainly rugby league and Australian rules football.
On the 17 September 2015 Bauer Media issued a press release confirming the closure of the Australian weekly edition. The closure of Zoo Weekly magazine encompassed all platforms: print, website and social media assets and took effect from Monday 12 October 2015.
