Introduction

This website seeks to give some information and suggestions for things for you to think about or investigate further. Our other media sources do too. While we hope that this website and our other media sources will be useful to you please note the following:

We do not act as advisors. Nor are we providing professional services. We do not provide medical, health, counselling, legal, financial, tax or other advice or services. For example, this website, our other media sources or the material on them should not be used for medical self diagnosis or treatment. You, your parents and any other relevant person should obtain appropriate advice and services from suitably qualified medical, legal or other professionals.

This website does not cover or mention all relevant topics. The same goes for our other media sources. We do, however, expect that the topics covered or mentioned by this website will expand over time.

In some cases a topic will simply be mentioned on this website or our other media sources, so that if the topic is relevant to you, your parents or any other relevant person, then you or they will need to look elsewhere to find more information about it. Sometimes this website or our other media sources might give links as a starting point. Even if a topic is covered in this website or our other media sources in more detail, you, your parents and any other relevant person will need to decide whether to check it with other sources or seek further information about it.
Some of the material on this website and our other media sources is specific to Australia and will not apply in other locations. Even within Australia details can vary between the different States and Territories and it is important that you, your parents or any other relevant person check the position that applies in the relevant place.
