Online safety for you and your family

Get helpful tips on how to protect kids online, look after your digital wellbeing and report harmful content.

Protecting children when they’re online

When using the internet, children can access undesirable or harmful content just as easily as useful content.

Developing good online safety habits and adult supervision helps minimise children’s exposure to harmful content.

Looking after your digital wellbeing

It’s important to keep a balance between your online and offline life.

Learn about topics like managing screen time and looking after your mental health.

Dealing with harmful content

You have the right to complain about harmful, illegal and restricted online content, including unsolicited electronic messages promoting these types of content.

To make a complaint you can:

  • contact the content provider
  • report online harm to the esafety Commissioner
  • contact your internet service provider.

Even if you have an unresolved complaint with the content provider, you can still complain to the eSafety Commissioner.
