Why staying informed matters
Healthcare marketing has become one of the most dynamic and regulated fields in business. Between new AI-driven digital tools, rising patient expectations and shifting advertising standards, staying informed is now essential for every healthcare organisation – not just those on the front line of care.
“Marketing in healthcare is not just about visibility anymore,” says Ellie Bakker, CEO of Splice Marketing. “It’s about credibility, compliance and connection. We want to make it easier for businesses across the industry to understand what’s changing and how to respond.”
AHPRA’s updated advertising guidelines require all health-related messaging to be accurate, evidence-based and transparent. That means no testimonials that could imply guarantees, no exaggerated claims and full clarity around risks, benefits and qualifications.
“Even for businesses that aren’t patient-facing, these regulations still matter,” Bakker explains. “Suppliers, startups, corporate health providers – they all operate in a highly scrutinised ecosystem. Everyone benefits from understanding where the boundaries are.”
