Editorial policy

Sources we rely on

• Endocrine Society of Australia — diagnostic thresholds and treatment indications.
• RACGP — Australian general practice guidance.
• Healthdirect Australia — government-backed consumer health information.
• PBS and Medicare for pricing and eligibility.
• Peer-reviewed studies indexed on PubMed for specific clinical claims.

How a page is written

1. A writer drafts the article against the sources above.
2. An editor checks each claim against the cited sources and current Australian guidelines for accuracy, currency and tone. Named medical reviewers will be listed here when they are appointed.
3. External links are checked. Out-of-date links and superseded guidelines are removed.
4. The page is published with a clearly visible "Published" or "Updated" date.

Updates and corrections

Clinical pages are reviewed at minimum every 12 months and immediately when relevant Australian guidelines change. If you spot a factual error, please tell us — we publish a correction with the updated date on the page.

Advertising and independence

We do not accept payment for editorial placement. We may receive a referral fee from partner clinics or pathology providers when a user chooses to book through us; this never affects which symptoms we recommend testing for or the clinical thresholds we publish.
