Statement of purpose
In the magazine's masthead, a statement of purpose is printed:

"NEXUS recognises that humanity is undergoing a massive transformation. With this in mind, NEXUS seeks to provide 'hard-to-get' information so as to assist people through these changes. NEXUS is not linked to any religious, philosophical or political ideology or organisation."

History
The magazine was first formed in 1986 by Ramses H. Ayana as a quarterly publication covering human rights, the environment, alternative health, women's rights, New Age, Free Energy, alternative science and the paranormal. Co-founder of the magazine was Jenni Elf and both founders had previously worked on the independent Australian magazine Maggie's Farm. Nexus was purchased by Duncan Roads in 1990, continuing a long tradition of keeping alternative publications alive in Australia. Following the handover, the topics covered by Nexus were changed and it moved to a bi-monthly publication schedule.

Criticism
The magazine promotes far-right conspiracy theories and propaganda that is especially in line with American militias and their worldviews.
