How we work

Editorial policy

Who writes this, what it is based on, what we refuse to publish, and how commercial relationships are kept out of the words.

We publish health information in a category full of marketing dressed up as education. The only useful response is to be specific about how our content is made, so you can judge it — and hold us to it when we fall short.

What we are, and what we are not

Get Enhanced is an independent directory and comparison service. We do not consult, diagnose, prescribe, compound, dispense or supply anything. We are not a clinic and we are not your practitioner. Everything we publish is general information written for a general audience, and none of it is personal medical advice.

That framing is deliberate rather than defensive. In Australia, prescription-only medicines cannot lawfully be advertised to the public, and we have no interest in finding the edge of that rule. Our content exists to help you ask better questions of a registered practitioner — not to sell you a compound.

Who writes and reviews it

Content is researched and written in-house by the Get Enhanced editorial team, drawing on published literature and Australian regulatory sources. It is reviewed before publication for factual accuracy, for compliance with Australian therapeutic goods advertising requirements, and for tone — specifically, for whether it has drifted from explaining into persuading.

Where a page has been reviewed by a registered health practitioner, we say so on that page and name the reviewer. Where it has not, we do not imply otherwise. We would rather have an unsigned page you can trust than a borrowed credential.

The evidence hierarchy we use

When sources disagree, we weight them in roughly this order:

  1. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials in humans.
  2. Individual randomised controlled trials in humans.
  3. Australian regulatory positions — the TGA on registration and scheduling, AHPRA and the National Boards on practitioner conduct.
  4. Guidelines from recognised professional bodies and colleges.
  5. Observational and cohort studies in humans.
  6. Preclinical work — cell and animal studies.

Manufacturer marketing, clinic websites, podcasts and social media are not sources. They are sometimes the reason we write about a topic; they are never the basis for what we say about it.

How we label evidence and legal status

Every compound guide in our learn librarycarries its Australian status on the page: TGA-registered, prescription-only or compounded, or supplement. We state plainly when the evidence base is preclinical, because “studies show” means something very different for a rodent model than for a phase-three trial. The distinction is explained in full at compounded vs registered medicines.

When the honest summary is “we do not know yet,” that is what we write. A gap in the evidence is information, and papering over it with confident language is the specific failure mode this category is known for.

What we will not publish

  • Dosing protocols or administration instructions. Those belong between you and your prescriber, and publishing them invites self-treatment.
  • Direct-to-consumer promotion of prescription medicines. Not for a clinic, not for a compound, not as a favour to an advertiser.
  • Guaranteed outcomes, cure claims or before-and-after imagery.
  • Patient testimonials for prescription treatments.
  • Fabricated reviews or ratings. We collect no review data, so we publish no star ratings, review counts or aggregate scores anywhere on this site — including in the structured data search engines read.
  • Anything implying regulatory endorsement. We check the AHPRA register — this is not an endorsement by AHPRA or of any treatment.

Where commercial relationships sit

Clinics can pay for a Featured listing. That buys placement and profile features in the directory. It does not buy a verification badge, a mention in an article, a favourable description, or any influence over what we publish. Verification cannot be bought — the process, and its limits, are set out at how we verify clinics.

Enquiries go only to the clinic you choose. We do not sell patient enquiry data. The detail is in our privacy policy.

The wall, stated plainly. No advertiser sees content before it is published, no clinic can request the removal of accurate information, and no editorial decision is made on the basis of who is paying. If we ever fail that standard, the correction below is how you should hold us to it.

Reviews, updates and corrections

Regulation and evidence in this field move quickly. We review published guides periodically and whenever something material changes — a scheduling decision, a registration, a significant trial, a new regulatory position. Because that is true, treat anything time-sensitive you read here as a starting point and confirm the current position with the TGA or your practitioner.

When we get something wrong, we fix it and we say what changed rather than quietly editing the page. If you have spotted an error, or you are a practitioner who disagrees with how we have characterised something, tell us — corrections from people who know more than we do are the cheapest quality improvement available.

Email support@getenhanced.au with the page and the specific claim, and a source if you have one. Clinics wanting to correct their own listing details should use the clinic portal.

Accessibility and plain language

We write for people making a decision, not for other clinicians. That means defining terms on first use, avoiding unnecessary jargon, and preferring the shorter sentence. Where precision and simplicity conflict, precision wins — but we try hard not to make you choose.

This is general information, not medical advice. Get Enhanced does not prescribe, supply, dispense or recommend any medicine, and nothing on this page is an offer or promotion of a prescription treatment. Whether any therapy is appropriate for you is a decision for a registered AHPRA health practitioner after an individual assessment. See our medical disclaimer.
