Our medical review team

What a medical reviewer checks

The reviewer reads the guide as published and checks that the health information is accurate, that it reflects current Australian clinical guidance, and that nothing in it reads as a diagnosis or as a promise of a particular result. They also check that the guide routes readers to a consultation rather than implying a treatment is a given.

Reviewers do not write the guides. Writing and sourcing is done by the editorial team, and the full process is set out in our editorial standards.

Guides without a named reviewer

We are working through the library, so most guides have been written and fact-checked by the editorial team but have not yet been signed off by a doctor. Those guides say so. They show a fact-checked date and link to our editorial standards instead of naming a clinician. We do not put a doctor's name on a guide they have not read.
