3. Advertiser Responsibilities

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that all information submitted for publication is:

  • accurate, complete and current;
  • truthful and not misleading or deceptive;
  • lawful and compliant with all applicable Commonwealth, State and Territory laws;
  • relevant to a genuine employment opportunity;
  • authorised for publication by the Advertiser;
  • respectful of the rights of third parties, including intellectual property and privacy rights;
  • compliant with applicable employment, anti-discrimination, privacy, workplace health and safety and consumer protection legislation;
  • free from viruses, malicious code or other harmful content; and
  • otherwise suitable for publication on an employment and recruitment platform.

Advertisers are also responsible for ensuring that any information relating to:

  • the position being advertised;
  • remuneration, salary or benefits (where disclosed);
  • employment status (for example, full-time, part-time, casual, contract or volunteer);
  • location or work arrangements (including remote or hybrid work where applicable);
  • hours of work;
  • required qualifications, licences or experience;

  • closing dates; and
  • the identity of the Employer,

is accurate at the time the advertisement is submitted.

Advertisers remain solely responsible for the content of their advertisements and Employer Profiles, notwithstanding any editorial changes made by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd in accordance with these Advertising Terms.

Advertisers must ensure that information relating to remuneration, employment status, location, working hours, required qualifications, faith requirements, application requirements, closing dates, employer identity and employment conditions is accurate at the time the advertisement is submitted.

4. Editorial Rights

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd reserves the right to review, edit, reformat, optimise, rearrange, shorten, clarify or otherwise amend advertisements and Employer Profile content submitted for publication where we reasonably consider this necessary or beneficial.

Such changes may be made for purposes including:

  • improving readability, clarity and presentation;
  • improving search engine optimisation (SEO)
  • improving visibility within AI-powered search and discovery platforms;
  • ensuring advertisements and Employer Profiles are compatible with search engines, online recruitment platforms and other digital services;
  • maintaining consistency across websites and services operated by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd;
  • ensuring compatibility with our website systems, functionality, templates and publishing processes;
  • complying with our publishing standards and content guidelines;
  • improving accessibility and usability for Job Seekers;
  • reducing ambiguity, duplication or unnecessary complexity;
  • clarifying application instructions and application pathways;
  • making it easier for Job Seekers to understand how and where to apply;
  • improving the overall effectiveness and performance of advertisements and Employer Profiles; and
  • improving the overall effectiveness and performance of advertisements and Employer Profiles; and
  • supporting the efficient operation of our employment marketplace and related services.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd will not intentionally make editorial changes that materially misrepresent the nature of the position, Employer identity, salary or remuneration, employment status, location, essential qualifications, genuine faith requirements or material employment conditions without consulting the Advertiser where reasonably practicable.

Advertisers acknowledge that content published through our network must operate consistently with our systems, publishing standards and Job Seeker experience. An Advertiser may request particular wording, links or application processes; however, Christian Jobs Pty Ltd retains final editorial and publishing discretion over content displayed on our Websites and Services, subject to applicable law and any written agreement with the Advertiser.

5. Application Links and Candidate Pathways

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may determine how application links and instructions are presented within an advertisement, while taking into account any genuine recruitment process identified by the Employer.

Where appropriate, we may:

  • link directly to an Employer's online application form;
  • link to an Employer's employment or careers page;
  • link to an Employer's employment or careers page;
  • provide a direct link to a position description;
  • provide an Apply button or other clear call-to-action;
  • simplify or clarify application instructions;
  • consolidate multiple application steps into a clearer process;
  • remove duplicated or unnecessary application instructions;
  • improve the presentation or placement of application links;
  • highlight mandatory application requirements specified by the Employer; or
  • otherwise present the application pathway in a manner that improves clarity and usability for Job Seekers.

The purpose of these measures is to make it clear to Job Seekers how and where to apply while preserving genuine mandatory requirements of the Employer's recruitment process.

Where an Employer requires Job Seekers to follow a particular application pathway, the Employer should clearly identify that requirement when submitting the advertisement. Christian Jobs Pty Ltd will endeavour to preserve genuine mandatory application requirements while maintaining a clear and streamlined Job Seeker experience.

6. Publication Across Related Websites and Services

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd operates a network of employment and recruitment websites and services, including ChristianJobs.com.au and ChristianCareers.com.au.

Unless otherwise agreed, Advertisers acknowledge and agree that advertisements, Employer Profiles, organisation logos, position descriptions, images and other recruitment-related content submitted to one of our Websites or Services may also be shared across other of our services and websites.

This means, for example, that an advertisement or Employer Profile submitted through Christian Jobs Australia may also be displayed or promoted on ChristianCareers.com.au where this forms part of the advertising product purchased, a promotional benefit, an account arrangement or the services being provided.

Publication across multiple websites operated by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd does not constitute disclosure or publication by an unrelated third-party publisher. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the legal entity operating those websites remains Christian Jobs Pty Ltd.

We may determine the presentation, formatting, categorisation and placement of cross-published content to suit the functionality and audience of each website, provided we do not intentionally materially misrepresent the substantive details of the vacancy or Employer.

7. Faith-Based and Christian Employment Requirements

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that any requirement relating to Christian faith, church attendance, statements of faith, denominational affiliation, religious practice or ministry suitability is lawful and appropriate for the position being advertised.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may request clarification where a faith requirement appears unclear, overly broad or potentially inconsistent with applicable law.

Publication of an advertisement by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd does not constitute legal advice or confirmation that any employment requirement is lawful. Advertisers should obtain their own legal advice where necessary.

8. Content Standards

Advertisements and Employer Profiles must not contain material that is:

  • unlawful or in breach of any applicable law;
  • false, misleading or deceptive;
  • defamatory or likely to damage the reputation of another person or organisation;
  • discriminatory or offensive in a manner prohibited by law;
  • abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful or obscene;
  • fraudulent or intended to deceive Job Seekers;
  • inaccurate or materially incomplete;
  • unrelated to a genuine employment opportunity;
  • primarily designed to advertise or promote products or services unrelated to recruitment;
  • likely to infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of another person;
  • malicious, defamatory or intended to cause harm;
  • inconsistent with the professional standards or reputation of Christian Jobs Pty Ltd or its websites;

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may refuse, suspend, edit or remove any advertisement or Employer Profile that we reasonably consider unsuitable for publication, inconsistent with our mission or values, contrary to our Terms, misleading, unlawful, harmful to Job Seekers, damaging to our reputation or inconsistent with the intended purpose of our employment marketplaces.

9. Genuine Vacancies

Advertisers must only advertise genuine employment opportunities unless the relevant advertising product expressly permits another type of recruitment or opportunity listing.

Advertisements must not be used primarily to:

  • build or maintain databases of candidates where no genuine vacancy exists;
  • promote products or services unrelated to recruitment;
  • solicit business, customers or clients unrelated to a genuine employment opportunity;
  • advertise events, courses or training programs unless they form part of an approved advertising product;
  • collect personal information for purposes unrelated to recruitment or employment;
  • conduct market research or surveys without our prior approval;
  • direct users to websites for purposes unrelated to the advertised position;
  • mislead or deceive Job Seekers about the nature or availability of a position; or
  • otherwise use our platform for purposes inconsistent with its role as an employment and recruitment marketplace.

10. Job Titles, Categories, Classifications and Locations

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may amend or standardise job titles, categories, classifications, locations or other metadata where reasonably necessary to improve search functionality, search engine performance, AI search visibility, Job Seeker relevance, prevent duplication or maintain platform consistency.

Such changes are administrative and are not intended to alter the substantive nature of the role.

11. Position Descriptions and Supporting Documents

Where an Advertiser provides a position description or other supporting document, Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may link to that document, incorporate relevant information into the advertisement, remove duplicated information or use the document to clarify the role or application process.

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that all supplied documents are current, accurate, lawful and authorised for publication.

12. Advertisement Duration

Advertisements will ordinarily remain live for the period associated with the advertising product purchased or until the earliest of the following:

  • the stated closing date is reached;
  • the vacancy has been filled;
  • the Employer requests that the advertisement be withdrawn;
  • the advertisement expires in accordance with the purchased advertising package;
  • the advertisement is removed because it no longer complies with these Advertising Terms or our Terms & Conditions of Use;
  • the advertisement is removed because the advertised position is no longer considered to be a genuine employment opportunity; or
  • Christian Jobs Pty Ltd otherwise removes the advertisement in accordance with these Advertising Terms.

Where an Employer specifies a closing date, Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may remove or archive the advertisement on or shortly after that date.

Where no closing date is specified, the advertisement may remain published for the standard duration associated with the advertising product purchased.

Advertisers acknowledge that, after an advertisement has been removed from our websites, copies may continue to appear temporarily in search engine indexes, AI-generated search results, cached pages or other third-party services beyond the control of Christian Jobs Pty Ltd.

13. Advertisement Packages and Credits

Advertisement packages, prepaid advertising products, account credits and promotional offers:

  • are subject to the terms and conditions applying to the product purchased at the time of purchase;

  • payment method requirements;
  • expiry dates; and
  • any other conditions published as part of the promotion.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd reserves the right to cancel or refuse the use of promotional codes, credits or discounted advertising where they have been obtained or used fraudulently, contrary to these Advertising Terms or in a manner not intended by the promotion.

14. Payment

Payment is required in accordance with the terms applicable to the advertising product purchased.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may require payment before an advertisement is published. Where payment by invoice has been approved, we may delay publication until payment has been received.

Advertisers are responsible for all charges associated with the advertising products and Services ordered.

15. Refunds and Credits

Unless required by Australian Consumer Law or otherwise agreed in writing, advertising fees are generally non-refundable once an advertisement has been published, advertising services have commenced or a campaign has been activated.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may, at its discretion, offer replacement advertising, account credit, an extension or another reasonable remedy where there has been a material service failure attributable to Christian Jobs Pty Ltd.

No refund or credit is guaranteed merely because an advertisement receives fewer applications than expected, no appointment is made, the Employer changes its recruitment plans, the vacancy is filled through another source or the Advertiser decides to withdraw the vacancy.

16. Search Engines, AI Platforms and Distribution

Advertisers acknowledge and agree that advertisements, Employer Profiles and related recruitment content may be:

  • indexed by search engines;
  • displayed in search engine results;
  • processed, summarised or surfaced by AI-powered search and discovery platforms;

  • promoted through Christian Jobs Pty Ltd social media accounts;
  • promoted through digital advertising or marketing campaigns operated by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd;

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may optimise the structure, formatting and presentation of advertisements and Employer Profiles to improve their visibility and performance across search engines, AI-powered search technologies and other online discovery platforms.

While Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may take reasonable steps to optimise advertisements for online visibility, we do not control how third-party search engines, AI platforms or other external services rank, index, cache, summarise or display advertisements or Employer Profiles and cannot guarantee any particular placement, ranking or level of visibility.

17. Employer Profiles

Employer Profiles may contain logos, organisation descriptions, photographs, videos, website links, social media links, values, statements of faith, workplace information, active vacancies and other information supplied or approved by the Advertiser.

Advertisers grant Christian Jobs Pty Ltd permission to display, reproduce, format and use material supplied for Employer Profiles for the purpose of providing and promoting our Services.

Employer Profiles created or maintained through Christian Jobs Australia may also be displayed, promoted or linked through ChristianCareers.com.au and any other employment or recruitment websites or services operated by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd.

Advertisers acknowledge that Employer Profile information may therefore be shared across our related Websites and Services to provide a consistent experience for Job Seekers and to maximise the visibility of employment opportunities.

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may edit or reformat Employer Profile content in the same manner as advertisements, subject to the editorial principles in these Advertising Terms.

18. Intellectual Property and Licence

Advertisers retain ownership of their pre-existing intellectual property, including logos, photographs, documents, trademarks and branding.

By submitting material to Christian Jobs Pty Ltd, Advertisers grant Christian Jobs Pty Ltd a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, adapt, format, distribute and publish that material for the purpose of providing and promoting the advertising Services purchased or otherwise agreed, including across ChristianJobs.com.au, ChristianCareers.com.au and other Websites and Services operated by Christian Jobs Pty Ltd.

20. Privacy and Candidate Information

Advertisers must handle Job Seeker information in accordance with applicable privacy legislation, their own privacy obligations, the Christian Jobs Pty Ltd Privacy Policy and any contractual obligations applicable to candidate information.

Candidate information obtained through our Websites and Services must only be used for legitimate recruitment and employment purposes unless the candidate has provided separate consent or another lawful basis applies.

Advertisers must not use Job Seeker information for unrelated marketing or commercial purposes without appropriate consent or another lawful basis.

Where reasonably practicable, we may contact the Advertiser before removing an advertisement, particularly where the issue is capable of being corrected.

22. Advertiser Accounts

Christian Jobs Pty Ltd may suspend or restrict an Employer or Advertiser account where payments remain outstanding, repeated breaches of these Advertising Terms occur, inaccurate or misleading advertisements are repeatedly submitted, the account is used unlawfully or improperly, or the Advertiser's conduct creates a material risk to Christian Jobs Pty Ltd or its Users.
