Where our information comes from
Every dataset behind these pages, who publishes it and the terms we use it under, including what we hold but do not yet show.
| Dataset | Terms | On our pages |
|---|---|---|
| ABN LookupAustralian Business Register | CC BY 3.0 AU | Shown Only the provider entity is kept; search pages list other names, which are discarded. |
| Aged care service list: 30 June 2026 (Australia)Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, via GEN Aged Care Data (AIHW) | CC BY 4.0 | Shown Names, addresses, places, provider, organisation type, coordinates. Read 2026-11-07. |
| Mapillary street-level photosMapillary contributors | CC BY-SA 4.0 | Shown Shown only where a photo looks towards the home from its street. Never photos from My Aged Care. |
| OpenStreetMap: hospitals, clinics, transport, parks and shops near each homeOpenStreetMap contributors | Open Database Licence (ODbL) 1.0 | Shown Read once per home through the Overpass API; distances are straight-line from the government list's coordinates. |
| Short overviews of each home, written by AIAgedCareClear, from the facts above | Our own text. | Shown Written only from the government list and ABN Lookup. Each time a page is shown, a sentence whose number or price statement no longer matches the page is left out, and the page says how many. |
| Operators' own pages for each homeEach home's operator (website) | The pages stay the operator's copyright. We restate facts (phone numbers, tours, room types, dementia areas, languages) with the words they came from, and link the page. | Shown Only the home's own line and the operator's enquiry line are kept, never a mobile number; a quote that names a person is dropped. A fact the page does not state is shown as not stated, never as absent. |
| Operators' own photos of each homeEach home's operator (website) | The operator's copyright. At most three small copies per home, credited and linked to the operator's page, and taken down at once on the operator's request. | Shown Only photos of the home itself: never people, logos, maps or a photo the operator uses for several homes. |
| Providers' own published room pricesEach home's operator (website or price list) | Prices are facts the law requires providers to publish. The documents stay the provider's copyright, so we restate prices and link the document. | Shown Read by AI from each operator's own page or price list; every figure is kept only if the words it came from are on that page, and each home links the page. The operator's page is the final word. My Aged Care is not used: its Terms of Use forbid automated collection and commercial reproduction. |
