HealthInsite aims to provide access to up-to-date, quality information for Australians. As the information to be accessed through HealthInsite comes from the sites of the information partners, the overall quality of HealthInsite depends on the quality of the information and its presentation through those sites. These standards help to add credibility to HealthInsite and to contributor sites.
Partner sites submitted for approval are assessed by the HealthInsite Editorial Board, a group of eminent health professionals and consumer representatives independent of the Department of Health and Ageing. Assessment is based on the criteria detailed in Assessment of Content for HealthInsite . The HealthInsite Editorial Team supports the Board in these tasks.
