AHPRA advertising guidelines, checked on every line (yes, even the FAQ).

Under the AHPRA advertising guidelines, every word a health practice publishes can count as advertising. That covers the homepage, the blog and the FAQ. Our copywriters check your website and ad copy against those guidelines and the TGA advertising rules. We flag the risky lines and write new wording beside each one. Written to the guidelines by our copywriting team. Not legal advice.

What is included

Advertise the consultation. Leave the outcome out.

Four rules we review every line against. They help the copy inform a patient without promising them anything.

  1. Homepage, service pages, blog, FAQs, meta descriptions, image text and forms. The rules don't skip the pages nobody reads.

    How a build runs
  2. Copy says what the practitioner assesses and discusses. It never says which condition gets cured or what result will follow.

    See the work
  3. Every flag names the rule behind it and comes with proposed wording. Your practitioners approve text instead of drafting it.

    The proof we show
  4. We review an ad and the page it lands on together. Both have to make the same claims and carry the same disclaimers.

The long read

What an advertising review can and can't do.

Health advertising in Australia has tighter rules than most practices expect. This is what the review covers, and where its limits are.

Every page a practice publishes can be advertising

Under the National Law, advertising is broader than an ad. The homepage, the blog, the FAQ and the page about what a consultation involves are all read the same way.

An article that names the practice and ends with a booking button is still advertising, and there's no educational exemption for it.

So the review reads everything, including the pages you forgot you had.

Where the flags land on a practice site
Pages with a flag Pages clear

Illustrative: the spread a review commonly finds, not a measurement of any practice's site.

Clinical testimonials have to come off

A patient saying a treatment worked is a testimonial about a clinical outcome. It can't be used in advertising, however genuine it is.

A patient saying the reception team was kind and parking was easy is talking about the service. And reviews about the service can stay.

We read every review, quote and case study on the site and sort them into those 2 piles.

A disclaimer can't rescue a claim

It's tempting to leave a bold promise in place and add a line of small print under it. The guidelines don't read it that way. The claim has to change.

Disclaimers still matter. Individual results vary, and any treatment follows a consultation only where it's clinically appropriate. The required wording goes in alongside the rewrite, never instead of it.

A review lowers risk. It can't promise an outcome.

Our copywriting team reviews your copy against the guidelines, and we build healthcare websites too. The review lowers the risk that your copy breaches the rules. Every change comes with a reason on record, and your practice stays responsible for its own advertising.

It isn't legal advice, and it can't guarantee how AHPRA or the TGA will view a page. Where a claim is new or the stakes are high, we recommend a healthcare advertising lawyer reads it. We flag which lines they should read first. Written to the guidelines by our copywriting team. Not legal advice.

Send us the copy.We'll send back what to change.

Questions

What practices ask before an advertising review.

What you need to know before we start a conversation.

Not answered here? Ask us directly

Is this legal advice?

No. Our copywriters check each line against the AHPRA advertising guidelines and the TGA rules, then propose new wording. That lowers your risk. Where a claim is new or high stakes, we recommend a lawyer reads it. Written to the guidelines by our copywriting team. Not legal advice.

Can you guarantee AHPRA or the TGA won't take action?

Nobody can. AHPRA and the TGA make their own assessments, and your practice stays responsible for its own advertising. What we can do is remove the kinds of claims the guidelines single out. We also record why each change was made, so you have the reasoning on file.

What do you look for?

We look for testimonials about clinical outcomes and claims about results or timelines. We also check references to prescription medicines, comparisons and superlatives, misused titles and missing disclaimers. Every flag cites the guideline or rule behind it, so your practitioners can see why.

Do you review our ads as well as the website?

Yes, in the review and apply scope. We read each ad together with its landing page, because both have to make the same claims and carry the same disclaimers. A compliant ad that lands on a risky page still leaves your practice exposed.

Will the rewrites hurt our search rankings?

Rarely. We rewrite each page to describe the consultation in the words patients search with, so the page still answers the query. It simply stops promising an outcome. Headings, meta descriptions and internal links stay in place, so search engines read the page the same way.

What does it cost?

Every review gets a fixed quote with line items after a free 15-minute call. The price follows the number of pages, posts and ads in scope. If the review takes longer than we planned, that's our problem, not another invoice.

Which practices is this for?

Any registered health practitioner or health service that advertises to the public. That runs from general practice and allied health to dental, telehealth and cosmetic clinics. The rules are shared across all of them. The risky phrases differ, so we read with your profession in mind.
