About me
I run MortgageHelp as an independent consumer-information publisher. I am not a registered financial adviser, mortgage broker, accountant, or licensed professional in this field, and the site is not authorised under any Australian Financial Services or Credit Licence. My role is editorial: I gather, verify, and present what the regulator publications, industry data sources, and product disclosure documents say about the subject matter — in plain English and with the underlying source linked or cited.
The site is part of a network of consumer-information sites I run, including DecisionLab (financial calculators), SalaryThread, GPScout, ProviderScout, DentistScout, SortedAus, and VaccinationsForTravel. The shared contact email is hello@decisionlab.com.au.
Editorial standards
Where the data comes from
Mortgage rates, lender fees, and product features are sourced from each lender's published disclosure documents (Key Facts Sheet, Credit Guide). Calculator formulas use APRA-published serviceability buffers and current Reserve Bank cash-rate data. Stamp duty schedules come from each state and territory revenue office.
What this site does not do
- It does not provide personal financial advice. Calculators and comparisons run general formulas using current published data; they do not assess your specific circumstances.
- It does not replace consultation with a registered professional. Personal advice depends on factors a calculator cannot evaluate.
- It does not have any commercial relationship with any specific lender that affects how products are presented.
Updates and corrections
Mortgage rates and lender product details are reviewed quarterly and at any RBA cash-rate change. Stamp duty schedules are reviewed at each state revenue office update. Spotted an error or out-of-date figure? Email hello@decisionlab.com.au with the URL — corrections are typically actioned within 2 business days.
Funding and conflicts of interest
MortgageHelp earns revenue from advertising (Google AdSense pending) and may earn from disclosed affiliate relationships in future. There are no per-application or per-product fees from any lender, and there is no equity, payment, or referral arrangement with any specific lender that affects which products appear on the site or how they are described.
Verifiable identity
The most direct way to verify the editorial identity behind this site is the email address above. A reply with a header to a specific corrections request is direct contact with the editor.
I do not maintain a public LinkedIn or other social profile. Email is the verification channel, and is the same channel that handles enquiries across the publisher network linked above. The Person schema on this page intentionally omits a sameAs field rather than linking a profile that does not exist.
