Program Records is a vinyl record pressing facility in Thornbury, Victoria, Australia. It is one of only three in Australia.

Program Records was founded by Steve Lynch and Dave Roper in 2017.[1][2] After an initial announcement to launch in 2018,[3][4] Program began pressing in 2020,[5] when the only other Australian pressing plant was Zenith Records.[1] By 2023, Program employed 13 staff and had pressed records by major international and local artists, including Courtney Barnett, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and Jimmy Barnes.[6] They press between 1500 and 1800 units daily, over ten hours.[6]

The pressing plant uses WarmTone presses from Viryl Technologies in Canada, and sources vinyl compound locally.[5][2]

In 2021, Program launched a Vinyl Deposit Scheme, where unwanted vinyl records can be donated to be turned into new records.[7]

The success of Program lead to Neil Wilson opening Suitcase Records,[8] a third Australian pressing plant, based in Brisbane.[9]
