The eSafety Commissioner

- Educational programs and guides for parents, teachers, and kids on how to handle issues like cyberbullying, online privacy, and gaming safety.
- Reporting tools that enable people to report cyberbullying, image-based abuse, or illegal content so that it can be removed from the internet.
- Online safety tips and advice on how to manage your digital footprint, secure your accounts, and avoid scams.
- Support services for those experiencing online abuse, including guidance on how to get help and protect yourself from further harm.
To access these resources or report harmful content, visit the eSafety Commissioner’s website.
