Editorial policy

PsychVault publishes educational content about psychology practice, training, professional development, neurodiversity, digital safety, documentation, and Australian regulatory systems. Articles are intended to help readers understand a topic and find primary sources; they do not replace individual clinical, legal, medical, regulatory, or supervision advice.

Each article identifies its author and links to an author profile describing relevant experience and qualifications. We distinguish personal or practice-based interpretation from established requirements and research findings.

An article is only described as independently reviewed when a named reviewer and review date appear on that article. If those details are absent, readers should not assume that an independent clinical review has occurred.

For clinical, safety, legal, and regulatory topics, we prioritise primary and authoritative sources such as legislation, regulators, government agencies, professional standards, systematic reviews, and original research. Where evidence is uncertain or evolving, the article should say so and avoid presenting preliminary findings as settled guidance.

Articles may display publication and updated dates. Material changes to time-sensitive guidance should be reflected in the updated date and, where useful, explained in the article. Minor spelling or formatting changes do not necessarily change that date.

If you identify an error, missing source, outdated requirement, or unclear disclosure, contact us with the article URL and supporting information. We review correction requests and update the article when a change is warranted.

PsychVault is also a marketplace. Articles may link to relevant resources sold or distributed through the platform. Commercial links do not change the evidence standard applied to editorial content, and readers should assess every resource for suitability, scope, licensing, and professional obligations before use.
