Corrections

How a correction is defined

A factual error in published content. Names, titles, dates, dollar amounts, statute numbers, court findings, geographic facts, professional roles: anything where a verifiable fact has been misstated.

Stylistic preferences, differences of interpretation, and editorial judgements aren't correction matters. They're addressed through letters or follow-up coverage where appropriate.

Reporting an error

Email corrections@australianconveyancer.com.auwith:

1. The URL or headline of the affected story.
2. What you believe is incorrect.
3. The correct information, with a source if possible.

What happens next

We acknowledge all corrections email within one business day. Australian Conveyancer will assess the claim against primary sources. If the error is confirmed, we correct it within two business days; sooner if the story is highly read or the inaccuracy is material.

How corrections appear

Material corrections (anything that changes the meaning of a story or affects how a person or organisation is portrayed) carry a clearly labelled "CORRECTION:" note at the top of the story explaining what was wrong and what was changed.

Minor corrections (such as typographical errors, punctuation, formatting) are made silently.

Stories that are corrected after social media distribution are flagged with a follow-up post on the relevant channel.

Retractions

Where a story is so substantially wrong and simple alterations are an insufficient remedy, the story will be retracted and, if deemed appropriate, a replacement story posted in a timely manner.

Complaints we don't agree with

In instances where correction request is denied, Australian Conveyancer will provide an explanation to the complainant and refer them to our editorial standards.
