Released under FOI When are testimonials prohibited under National Law? • Under section 133(1) (c) of National Law, a person
cannot advertise a regulated health service in a way that uses a testimonial. This means that National Law does not allow the use of testimonials in advertising. A statement, view or feedback about a service received or provided is considered a testimonial if it includes recommendations or positive statements about clinical aspects of a regulated health service.
