Trust + transparency

Editorial team

Find a Financial Planner is published by Boring Ventures Pty Ltd (ABN 67 671 943 758) through a small Australian editorial team organised into six topic desks. Bylined content is attributed to the desk that researched it, working against the primary public sources listed for each desk below. Where an individual contributor took primary responsibility for a single page, their name may be added on that page.

We do not use AI-generated author personas. Where we describe an article as researched, fact-checked or sourced, that work was performed by a human editor on the relevant desk.

The Education Desk

Editorial team, schools + fertility + family services

The Education Desk publishes our coverage of Australian private schools, IVF clinics and family-services providers. Every fee, ICSEA score and ANZARD-published outcome is cross-referenced against the school or clinic's primary source before publication. Specific named authors of individual pages may be added below where the work was researched and written by a single contributor.

Primary sources + checks

  • Primary sources: ACARA My School, individual school websites, ANZARD Annual Report
  • Verifies fees against the school's published 2026 fee schedule
  • Discloses ICSEA limitations on every school page
  • Corrections: editorial@<site-domain>

The Finance Desk

Editorial team, accountants + mortgage brokers + financial planners + conveyancers

The Finance Desk covers our financial-services and property verticals. Content is general information, not personal financial advice — see our /disclaimer/ for the full notice. Every credential claim is checked against the TPB public register (tax agents), the ASIC Financial Advisers Register (financial planners) or the relevant industry-body membership list (MFAA, FBAA, AIC).

The Community Services Desk

Editorial team, NDIS + emergency plumbing + solar

The Community Services Desk covers our NDIS, emergency-plumbing and solar verticals. Provider listings are not vetted for service quality; regulator status is the primary signal. Every solar installer is cross-referenced against the Clean Energy Council Approved Retailer list, every plumber against the relevant state plumbing regulator, every NDIS provider against the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission register.

Primary sources + checks

The Small Business Desk

Editorial team, company registration + business compliance

The Small Business Desk covers our company-registration and small-business compliance content. Procedural information is drawn from ASIC's published guidance. Tax, legal and structure decisions affecting your circumstances require advice from a TPB-registered tax agent and an Australian legal practitioner — see /disclaimer/.
