Affiliate disclosure

The short version

Dad Gifts Australia earns commission when you buy through some of the links on this site. You never pay more because of it. The commission comes out of the merchant’s margin, not your price.

Where a link is commercial, it is labelled as such on the page it appears on, not only here.

Where things stand right now

4 of the retailers we link to are now a tracked commercial relationship: Amazon Australia, eBay Australia, FansJerseyHub and Ottocast. They were approved on 9 September 2026 and 4 September 2026.

Every other link on the site goes straight to the retailer and earns nothing. You do not have to work out which is which: a link that earns is marked on the page it appears on, and the marking is generated from the same record as the link itself, so it cannot say one thing and do another.

As more relationships are approved the labels change automatically and this paragraph rewrites itself from the same table. It is not maintained by hand.

What it does not change

• Commission rate is never an input to the order. Each page prints the sort rule it uses directly above its grid.
• We publish a list of gifts we think you should not buy, including popular items that would earn us money.
• We do not accept payment for placement, and no merchant has approved or reviewed anything written here.
• If we would not suggest it to a friend, it does not go on the site.

Why this is worded so plainly

The ACCC’s guidance on influencer and affiliate disclosure is clear that vague labels do not count. Terms like "sp", "collab" and "ambassador" have been called out specifically as unlikely to be understood by an ordinary consumer, and disclosure buried in hashtags or a footer is treated as no disclosure at all.

The test is whether an ordinary person reading the page would understand there is a commercial relationship. A sentence at the top of the page in normal English passes that test. Small print does not.
