This policy explains how we produce Graduate Jobs Guide and what readers can expect from us.
Accuracy and sources
We base every factual statement on primary or authoritative sources — official sources such as the Fair Work Ombudsman, the Fair Work Commission, Scamwatch, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Safe Work Australia, the Australian Human Rights Commission, the Australian Taxation Office and Study Assist. Sources are listed at the end of each guide. When figures differ between sources, we give the range and explain why.
What we will not do
- Invent statistics, prices, quotes, reviews or people.
- Present paid content as editorial.
- Copy text from other websites — every page is written from our own research.
Not professional advice
Workplace laws, recruitment practices, pay rates and scam tactics change often. We show the date each page was last checked and link to official sources. Our guides are general information only, not legal, tax, financial or professional advice: check the official source and get advice for your situation.
Example numbers
We never publish invented statistics, fees, prices or testimonials. Our deadline planner only counts back from the closing date you enter; it is a planning aid, and you should always check dates on the employer's own listing.
No product rankings
We do not test, rank, review or endorse employers, recruiters, courses, services or providers, and businesses cannot pay to be recommended in our guides. We never publish invented statistics, salaries, prices or test results.
No betting content
We do not publish betting tips, odds, bookmaker reviews or gambling promotions, and we do not accept gambling advertising or affiliate deals.
Corrections
If you find an error, please contact us. We check corrections against sources, update the page and change its “updated” date.
Independence
Graduate Jobs Guide is independent. We are not affiliated with any government agency or regulator, employer, recruiter, job board, university or business named on the site, including any previous operator of this domain or any business with a similar name.
How we make money
We want you to know exactly how this site is paid for, so you can judge our content for yourself.
- Affiliate links. Some pages may link to products, services or quote services through affiliate programmes. If you buy after clicking one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked with a disclosure line at the top of the page, and use
rel="sponsored"so search engines know they are commercial. - Advertising. We may show clearly labelled display ads. Advertisers do not choose or review our content.
- Sponsored content and listings. We may occasionally publish sponsored articles or paid business listings. They are always labelled "Sponsored" or "Featured", kept separate from our guides and limited to businesses relevant to readers.
What doesn’t change:
- We decide what to cover and what to recommend. Payment never buys a positive review, a higher ranking or the removal of criticism.
- Facts, prices and conditions are checked against the sources cited on each page, not against what partners tell us.
- We don’t promote gambling, betting or other offers that don’t suit a general audience.
We aim to meet the Australian Consumer Law requirement that businesses must not engage in misleading or deceptive conduct, including about commercial relationships, and we follow the ACCC’s guidance on disclosing paid and sponsored content. If you think we’ve fallen short, please contact us.
