Terms of use.

The conditions for reading and using Modern Parenthood guides and tools.

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This site is a general-interest Australian parenting publication. Using it means accepting these basic terms, subject to any rights and protections that apply under Australian law.

General information

Articles and checklists are educational and practical information, not individual medical, developmental, legal or professional safety advice. They do not replace guidance from a doctor, maternal and child health nurse, child-restraint professional or relevant safety authority. Never rely on an editorial article alone for urgent child-health or product-safety decisions.

Check current information

Government guidance, Australian product standards, road rules, business offerings and product instructions may change. Check the current official source for critical details. While we aim to correct material errors, we do not guarantee that every page will reflect an immediate change on a third-party site.

Ownership and reasonable sharing

Unless stated otherwise, original text, illustration and branding on Modern Parenthood remain protected by applicable intellectual property rights. You may read and share links to public pages. Do not republish full articles or represent our illustrations, product assessments or editorial work as your own without permission. Applicable copyright exceptions remain unaffected.

External links

References to third-party resources do not make us responsible for their accuracy, availability, terms or privacy practices. Commercial relationships, if introduced, will be described in the advertising and affiliate disclosure.

Website availability

We may change, correct, remove or reorganise content and tools as needed. No service guarantee is made for uninterrupted availability. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on information without regard to individual circumstances. Nothing in these terms excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
