HealthInsite is a gateway to quality health information from information partners' websites. Here you will find information on HealthInsite information partnerships, how to apply to become a partner, a list of current information partners and contact details for the HealthInsite Editorial Team.
Information partnerships
An information partnership is a formal relationship between HealthInsite and approved Australian organisations such as peak health organisations, government agencies and educational institutions with relevant, reliable, web based health information.
Information partnerships are based on a cooperative approach to information with shared objectives and responsibilities. Information partners benefit from partnership with HealthInsite by:
- attracting, reaching and maintaining a larger audience;
- association with a reliable health information gateway, dedicated to providing access to quality information for Australian health consumers; and
- greater access to networking opportunities with other partner organisations.
The role of information partners
Information partners are crucial in providing quality information for access through HealthInsite. HealthInsite does not produce health information - it provides access to information partners' information through a single gateway. Information partners
Information partners can be self-nominated, identified by the HealthInsite team or identified through other information partners or organisations working with the HealthInsite team. Potential partners can apply online after reading the information on the Assessment of Content for HealthInsite. To apply for partnership complete the information partner nomination form. The form is automatically sent to the HealthInsite team, who will contact you to discuss your application.

HealthInsite has a disclaimer, accessible from all pages, which states that the site provides information, not advice, and refers users to medical professionals before taking action. HealthInsite requires that all information partners utilise a similar disclaimer.
Content from information partners' sites should adhere to the Publishing standards for HealthInsite to ensure all content is credible and reliable.
