Editorial policy

Aussies R Us publishes practical information for Australian households researching solar and batteries. This page sets the rules we write against.

Primary sources

Money figures for federal and state schemes are taken from administering agencies (for example DCCEEW, the Clean Energy Regulator, and state energy departments) and stored in version-controlled data files. Articles must not hardcode rebate dollars that belong in those files.

Verification stamps and changelog

Data-driven pages show when we last verified underlying figures. Material updates are listed on What changed with affected URLs.

Corrections

If we get a fact wrong, email hello@aussiesrus.com.au with the URL, the incorrect statement, and a primary-source link. We correct the page, update the data file when needed, and note significant corrections in the changelog.

AI-assisted drafting

We may use AI tools to draft or edit prose. Every numerical claim about rebates, tariffs, or costs is checked by a human against our data files or a primary source before publication. AI output is never the authority on a dollar figure.

Independence and commercial relationships

• We do not sell placement in editorial rankings.
• Advertising and affiliate relationships are disclosed; affiliate links use rel="sponsored".
• Competitor ownership (for example retailer acquisitions of quote marketplaces) is reported as dated fact without sneering or unverified motive claims.
• If we operate a quote referral service, consent language and the privacy policy will describe partner sharing before that form is promoted publicly.

Voice

Australian English, sentence case, numbers before adjectives. We say when a battery is not worth it. Urgency theatre around step-down dates is not allowed — publish the schedule instead.
