Advertising and paid-placement disclosure

Paid features are not currently activated. If activated after the required approvals, up to two eligible clinics may purchase separately allocated Featured positions for a defined region and treatment category. Featured positions appear above, but outside, the organic results. Every Featured block and clinic card is labelled “Featured — paid placement”. The label cannot be switched off.

Payment does not reorder organic results and must not change factual eligibility, evidence review, public verification or the outcome of a correction request. When two Featured clinics are eligible, their order rotates fairly; neither position represents a quality ranking.

A sponsored treatment reference must pass the same controlled publication system at the dedicated paid-placement scope. Content marked as unsuitable for paid campaigns cannot be sponsored even when it remains eligible for factual organic display.

Each free clinic enquiry is addressed to one clinic selected by the consumer and will not be resold or distributed to other clinics. The form collects contact details only and does not ask for symptoms, diagnoses, medicines, photographs or other health information.

Advertising or inclusion does not mean Aesthetics Australia recommends a clinic, practitioner, treatment, device or product. “Featured” describes paid visibility, not quality, safety, suitability or likely outcomes. Promotional and unsupported clinical-quality claims remain excluded from controlled public data.
