Sponsorship & Advertising Disclosure
ShowcasingOz TV is committed to transparency in all partnerships, sponsorships, hosted stays, advertising collaborations and commercial relationships. This disclosure explains how we handle paid and unpaid promotional content in accordance with Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
1. Our Commitment to Transparency
We believe audiences deserve to know when content is influenced by a commercial partnership. When ShowcasingOz TV receives payment, hosted accommodation, attraction access, or any other commercial benefit, we disclose this clearly using labels such as:
- "Filmed in partnership with..."
- "Sponsored by..."
- "In collaboration with..."
Disclosures may appear in videos, social media posts, YouTube descriptions, website pages, email communications and printed collateral.
2. Types of Partnerships We Participate In
ShowcasingOz TV engages in several forms of collaborations, including:
- Paid Sponsorships: Monetary payment for brand visibility or promotional inclusion.
- Attraction Partnerships: Filming packages purchased by attractions to be featured.
- Accommodation Partnerships: Hosted stays or discounted stays offered as part of a filming agreement.
- Tourism Board Collaborations: Support provided by regional or state tourism authorities.
- Product or Service Sponsorships: Equipment, vehicles, supplies or services provided in exchange for exposure.
3. Editorial Independence
Regardless of sponsorship, ShowcasingOz TV maintains full editorial control over filming, narrative direction, editing and final creative output.
Partners cannot dictate:
- The storyline or message of the video
- The opinions expressed by presenters
- The ranking or comparison of attractions or locations

Sponsored involvement does not guarantee positive coverage.

For transparency, sponsorships and partnerships may include:
- Featured placement in a video episode

- Social media exposure across ShowcasingOz TV channels
- Mention in supporting articles, blogs or web pages
- Use of professionally filmed footage for the partner’s own marketing
5. Hosted Stays & Complimentary Services
When accommodation providers or attractions offer complimentary or discounted services, these are considered a form of sponsorship. We disclose such arrangements where relevant.
6. No Hidden Endorsements
ShowcasingOz TV does not accept payment in exchange for unlabelled endorsements, falsified reviews or misleading representations. All promotional involvement is openly stated.
7. Accuracy & Authenticity
Filming and presenting locations authentically is core to our values. Partners cannot request distortions of:
- Visitor experience
- Landscape or environmental conditions
- Cultural significance
- Safety considerations
8. Compliance with Australian Consumer Law
