Find the evidence behind the guidance and understand what a review date means.
Editorial review means the guidance and cited source were assessed. Numerical verification is recorded separately for a particular rule or contact number. Fetching a page or seeing an unchanged fingerprint is a machine check; it is not a new legal or editorial review.
Our maintenance process checks for source changes and flags them for review. Blocked, missing or changed sources do not renew a fact's verification date. Detailed tax, visa, NDIS and estate rules are bounded referral topics, not a complete assessment of every rule.
Known source conflicts are resolved against the administering service where possible. For example, the 1800RESPECT contact uses the number verified on the operator's website, rather than a conflicting number in a financial checklist.
