What the editors look for

Documentation

Reliability

Fit for Australia
Whether Australian buyers can use it
Four steps
- 1
Reading
Editors read the provider's own site first, then public business registers.
- 2
Listing
Editors decide which providers go on the register in each category. Providers do not apply.
- 3
Notes
Each listing carries a short note drawn from what the provider's own site shows.
- 4
Updates
The register is published by cycle. A listing can be dropped if the provider's public information changes.
Fees and independence
A category can be empty. No winner pays a fee for inclusion.
Honorees are selected by our editors based on a published evaluation of publicly available information. Notes are opinions drawn from public facts, not lab results or legal certificates.
