Prevention Australia Editorial Content Policy

Prevention Australia is committed to delivering credible, inclusive, and empowering content that helps readers make informed decisions about their health, wellbeing and lives. Our audience includes Australian women aged 35+ and our editorial approach reflects their needs, values and voices. 

We publish science-backed, expert-informed articles that are accessible, engaging and supportive. From fitness and nutrition to skincare and sleep, we cover the real-life health questions that matter. 

Our Editorial Process 

All Prevention Australia articles undergo editing by our editorial team to ensure clarity, tone, factual accuracy and alignment with brand voice. Articles from freelance contributors, commercial partners or third-party writers are also reviewed before publication. 

Before assigning, pitching, or publishing, we ask: What value does this provide for the reader? Every piece must be service-driven, helpful and rooted in real insight or experience. If it’s not useful, it doesn’t run. 

Our Editorial Standards 

1. Accuracy and Evidence 

We fact-check every claim and back our content with recent studies, official health resources and interviews with qualified experts. All statistics and references must be up to date, relevant to Australian readers and sourced from trustworthy publications. 

2. Clarity and Accessibility 

Health and lifestyle topics should be clear, concise and free from unnecessary jargon. We write in plain English and structure content to make complex topics easy to digest without oversimplifying them. 

3. Inclusion and Diversity 

We recognise the diversity of experiences across gender, age, body size, skin tone, sexual identity, cultural background and ability. We actively seek expert sources, anecdotes and images that reflect our full audience. 

4. Empowerment Without Shame 

We offer readers practical, positive and realistic advice without promoting fear, guilt or restriction. We do not endorse unproven diets, weight-loss fads or miracle cures. Content should support self-compassion, agency and long-term wellbeing. 

5. Australian Relevance 

We prioritise local studies, quotes from Australian experts and references to Australian seasons, products and guidelines. When using overseas research, we make clear where it’s from and explain how it may (or may not) apply to an Australian context. 

6. Sensitivity and Ethics 

We avoid language that stigmatises or marginalises. Mental health, chronic illness and sensitive topics must be handled with care. Quotes from lived experience must be verified and used with full consent. 

7. Independence and Transparency 

Editorial content is written without influence from advertisers. If we feature sponsored or affiliate content, it will always be clearly labelled. Product recommendations are based on editorial merit, not commercial agreements. 

Corrections and Updates 

We review content regularly to ensure it remains accurate and reflective of the latest evidence. If an error is found or reported, we will update the article as soon as possible with transparency about what has changed. 

A Final Word 

We take our role seriously. Prevention Australia is a safe, trustworthy place for women to come for health and lifestyle content that feels smart, real and reassuring—never patronising. Every article is written with respect for our readers’ time, intelligence and lived experience. 

We’re here to help women feel good in their bodies, confident in their choices and supported through every stage of life. That commitment guides every piece of content we publish.
