Corrections policy

Health information that never changes is not being maintained. Research moves, Australian guidance is updated, and writers make mistakes. This page explains how to report one and what happens next.

What we treat as a correction

A factual error. Wrong numbers, wrong units, a misstated dose, an incorrect description of what a study found.

A misread study. A finding presented as stronger, broader or more certain than the research supports. This includes presenting evidence about a nutrient generally as though it were evidence about a specific compound or form.

Outdated guidance. Australian recommended intakes, TGA requirements or clinical advice that has since changed.

A citation problem. A source that does not say what we have claimed it says, a broken link, or a reference to the wrong paper.

Missing context. A study described without the limitations its authors placed on it.

How to report one

Email hello@nthhealth.com.au.

It helps if you include the page, the specific sentence, and what you believe is correct. A link to a source is the most useful thing you can send.

You do not need a professional qualification to report an error, and we do not ask for one.

What we do

We check the claim against the original source. If we cannot verify it, we treat that as a problem with the claim rather than with the report.

If the content is wrong, we correct it and update the last reviewed date on the page. Where the correction changes the meaning of what was published, we note on the page what was changed and when, rather than editing silently.

If the content is right, we reply and explain why, with the source.

If it is a matter of interpretation rather than fact, we will usually add the context rather than remove the claim, because the disagreement is often the useful part.

Reviews we run ourselves

Every guide carries a last reviewed date. We revisit guides when meaningful evidence or Australian guidance changes, and the date on the page reflects the last time the content was actually checked rather than the last time it was edited.
