How we prepare what we publish

Last updated:

ABC Vac Sweep is built on the questions people ask when they're dealing with household money, debt or the effects of gambling harm. We publish guides to help you understand your options and take practical steps. This page explains how we research, write and keep our content accurate.

Topics come from what you need to know

We choose what to write about by listening to the questions readers ask most often. If something matters to someone navigating money problems or recovery from gambling, it belongs on this site. We focus on subjects where clear information can make a real difference to your decisions.

We research from reliable sources

Every guide is built on public reference works, official websites and organisations recognised in their field. We check facts against more than one source where we can, so you get information you can trust. At the end of each article, you'll find the sources we used — they're there so you can read further if you want to.

We write in plain language

Terms get explained when we use them. We don't exaggerate or promise outcomes we can't guarantee. What we publish is straightforward and grounded in how things actually work, not how we might wish them to work.

What we don't do

This site takes no payment for what appears here. Nothing is sponsored, ranked for money or sold to you. The editorial team decides what gets published, based on what will help you most. We stay independent so our guidance stays honest.

We correct mistakes and update when things change

If a law changes or a service updates the way it works, we review our guides and update them. If you spot an error, write to [email protected] and we'll put it right without delay. Corrections happen as soon as we can make them.

Have a topic in mind?

If there's something about money, debt or recovery you'd like to understand better, let us know. Write to [email protected] with your suggestion. We read every message and use your ideas to shape what we write next.

Content about gambling is written with safer gambling in mind. If you're affected by gambling harm — your own or someone else's — support is available. 18+
