Links on the website

Some of our site pages and interactive content contain links to third party sites not managed by us.

Those third party sites are not within our control and do not follow the same privacy, security, or accessibility standards as ours. We are not responsible for the content or availability of those sites, their partners, or advertisers. Any link to an external site is provided for your information and convenience only.

The aim of servicesaustralia.gov.au is to communicate our services by supporting an informed and engaged citizenry. Links to external websites are established and retained at our discretion. Without control, the number of external links on the website becomes difficult to maintain and audit appropriately.

We link to government, not-for-profit organisations or educational institutions with a national focus. We source an alternative site that includes pathways to community and state based organisation sites.

To avoid the perception of endorsement, links to commercial websites are not included. A commercial website is defined as a business site designed to generate income through the provision of services and products.

When considering a request to link to another websites we evaluate whether it:

  • provides official government information or services
  • complements existing information, products and services on servicesaustralia.gov.au
  • is accessible and applicable to a wide, national audience
  • has content that is relevant, useful and authoritative for citizens, businesses or other key stakeholders
  • has information that is authoritative and current.
