Our editorial process

Clear ADHD information should help you understand what comes next. Here’s how we research, review, and keep ours current.

Evidence-led

We use current guidance for Australia and reliable research, with inline links where they help.

Clear and useful

Every article is edited for accuracy, clarity, usefulness, and tone before publication.

The right review

Articles with substantive clinical information receive medical review. Other articles still receive editorial and source checks.

How an article is made

  1. Research and write

    We start with questions adults ask us, gaps in ADHD information for Australia, and changes to clinical guidance. A contributor with relevant subject knowledge researches and writes the article.

  2. Edit and check

    Our editorial team checks the article for accuracy, balance, structure, plain language, and tone. Clinical claims are supported by reliable evidence, with sources linked inline where appropriate.

  3. Review and publish

    We match the final review to the content. Articles with substantive clinical information go to an appropriately qualified clinician; other articles complete editorial review before publication.

What “medically reviewed” means

A clinician registered with AHPRA, with relevant knowledge and experience, has checked the article’s clinical information against current guidance and within their scope of practice. It is a clinical accuracy check. Our editorial team remains responsible for the article’s wording, structure, and non-clinical content.

When that review is complete, the article names the clinician, their credentials, and the review date. Some articles also show previous reviewers. You can read more about our reviewers on the Clinicians page and verify their registration with AHPRA.

We only use the “medically reviewed” label when an article has a completed clinical review. Articles that do not require medical review still go through our editorial and source checks.

Keeping information current

Dates on an article tell you what has happened since it was first published.

Published
When the article first appeared on our site.
Last updated
When we last changed the article.
Medically reviewed
When a clinician last checked the clinical information.

We schedule medically reviewed articles for another clinical check at least every 18 months. We bring that review forward when relevant guidance, medicines regulation, government advice, or reader feedback points to a change.

Routine edits, such as fixing a link or making the wording clearer, change the “last updated” date. A substantive change to clinical information returns to clinical review before publication.

Spotted something wrong?

If something looks inaccurate, unclear, or out of date, tell us. We’ll acknowledge your message within 10 business days, review the information, and update or correct the article where appropriate. If a correction changes clinical information, it returns to clinical review before publication.
