Steps to Take If You Disagree with a Review

If you believe a review is unfair or inaccurate, you may choose to dispute it.

🧭 How to Dispute a Review

Follow these steps to dispute a review directly from your adviser portal:

  1. Log into your adviser portal
    Click here to access your portal →

  2. Go to the ‘Manage’ section under Reviews

  3. Locate the review in question

  4. Click the “Dispute” button

    • This will trigger a dispute flag on the review.

    • The Adviser Ratings team will be notified to review the content and progress of veracity checking the reviewer.

💬 Still Concerned After the Review Is Published?

If the review goes live and you believe it violates our terms (e.g. it’s defamatory, factually incorrect, or does not relate to a client interaction), please contact us directly at admin@adviserratings.com.au. Include:

  • A direct link to the review

  • Clear details outlining why you are disputing it

🤝 Our Commitment to Fairness

We take adviser concerns seriously. While we do not remove verified reviews solely because they are negative, we are committed to ensuring that all reviews are:

  • Genuine

  • Relevant to a real client experience

  • Published in accordance with community standards and ACCC guidelines

As a publisher of consumer opinions, we play a neutral role—our aim is to support transparency and accuracy in financial advice. While we help ensure fairness, we do not act as a legal or dispute resolution body.

We encourage advisers to see reviews—positive or critical—as part of a transparent financial services ecosystem that builds trust and elevates the profession.
