In September 2023, Felgate faced criticism for a lack of disclosure to listeners of her many arrangements with commercial sponsors. A list on the 3AW website was later updated with the names of 15 brands and organisations that have a relationship with her, mainly because of her presence on social media.{{Cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/jacqui-felgate-blames-oversight-for-undisclosed-commercial-deals-20230927-p5e81f.html|title=Jacqui Felgate blames 'oversight' for undisclosed commercial deals|first=Karl|last=Quinn|date=September 27, 2023|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=January 8, 2024|archive-date=January 8, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240108035401/https://www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-and-radio/jacqui-felgate-blames-oversight-for-undisclosed-commercial-deals-20230927-p5e81f.html|url-status=live}}
