About
Editorial policy
How we commission, review, and update what we publish.
Independence
AuDHD Australia is an ACNC-registered charity. We do not accept advertising, sponsored content, or paid placement of any kind in our clinician directory or on our editorial pages. Funding comes from individual donations and grants — never from clinicians or commercial entities seeking visibility.
Authorship and review
Every clinical article on this site is reviewed by a registered psychologist before publication. The reviewer is named on every article, alongside their credentials and the date they reviewed the piece. We re-review every clinical article at least once every 12 months — sooner if relevant evidence changes.
Articles that are not clinical in nature (lived-experience stories, organisational notes, policy commentary) carry the author’s name but do not require clinical sign-off.
Sources
We cite sources for every clinical claim. Our preferred order is: peer-reviewed Australian research, peer-reviewed international research, Australian government and professional college guidance (RACP, NHMRC, Department of Health, AHPRA), then authoritative international guidance. Australian sources are cited first when available.
Plain language
Our writing standard is calm, direct, and accessible — without sacrificing accuracy. We aim for a Year 9 reading level on pillar pages and Year 11 on specialist content. We avoid alarmist language, false certainty, and the “you are broken” framing common in older mental-health writing.
Conflicts of interest
Our reviewer, advisors, and editorial team disclose any clinical, commercial, or familial conflicts before working on a piece. Where a conflict cannot be avoided, it is declared on the article.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please email editorial@audhd.org.au. We respond within 5 business days. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the article with the date of correction.
Sensitive topics
Articles touching on suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, or substance use carry the Australian crisis support block at the top of the article. We follow Mindframe guidelines for safe reporting on suicide and self-harm.
What we are not
We are not a diagnostic provider. We are not a telehealth service. We do not provide individual clinical advice. Information on this site is general in nature — it complements but does not replace professional medical advice.
