Disclosure Policy

Disclosures & Ethics

Deep Tech Australia may publish work by contributors who are affiliated with commercial organisations operating in the Australian technology sector. Those affiliations are disclosed on contributor pages and, where relevant, on individual articles.

Sponsored and partner content

Sponsored, commissioned or partner-supported content is clearly labelled at the top of the article, and separated visually from independent editorial. Sponsors do not receive review or approval rights over independent editorial coverage.

Author disclosures

Shaune Irving is affiliated with Keytech Intelligence. Articles that discuss organisations, products, sectors or technologies where that affiliation may be material carry an article-level disclosure. This rule applies to all commercially affiliated contributors.

Conflicts of interest

Articles about a contributor's employer, direct competitors, or an organisation in which they hold a material interest are labelled as independent analysis only when written or materially reviewed by someone without that commercial dependency.

Gifts, travel and hospitality

Contributors do not accept payment, gifts, or hospitality in exchange for editorial coverage. Travel or access provided by third parties for reporting purposes is disclosed within the piece.
