Guidelines for using free health articles

Throughout the year, Jean Hailes for Women's Health creates women's health articles that can be republished free of charge in your organisation's website, blog, newsletter or magazine. Here, we provide guidelines to give organisations clear direction in using agreed-upon information written by Jean Hailes.

Jean Hailes' free health articles can be republished by your organisation for non-commercial, non-profit, educational purposes only.

No other content created by Jean Hailes (for example, our webpages or resources) can be republished without prior permission.

To receive the free health articles, subscribe to our email updates for health professionals here.

When a new article is made available, we will feature it in our email communications by including a link to a Jean Hailes webpage with the article in a downloadable PDF format.

In line with Australian Copyright Laws, we require that you acknowledge the articles to Jean Hailes as follows:

Published with the permission of Jean Hailes for Women's Health

We would also appreciate if you could include our website address jeanhailes.org.au and our toll-free number 1800 JEAN HAILES (532 642) for women seeking further health information.

Editing article content

We ask that you do not alter or edit the content of the article in any way. If you do need to edit the article to fit your requirements, please email a final copy to Jo Roberts, Health Content Manager at jo.roberts@jeanhailes.org.au prior to publication. This is of particular importance as medical and health information can be taken and read out of context.

The Jean Hailes Editorial Committee provides final approval and authorisation for publication under the Jean Hailes imprimatur for all information following the internal peer review process if not already subjected to satisfactory peer review elsewhere.
