Ethics

Patients or the public were not involved in the design or reporting of this review, and there was no funding source or conflicts of interest. According to Griffith University policy, no ethical approval was required (Griffith University, 2022). This study was not formally registered.

Evidence grading

Since the primary objective of this study was to identify the type of Australian literature available, of which quality is one component, the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was deemed the most efficient and suitable integrity checklist to evaluate the evidence due to its simplicity (Hong, Quan Nha, Fabregues, Sergi, et al., 2018; Hong, Quan Nha, Pluye, Pierre, et al., 2018).
