Online safety resources for parents

The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is the Australian Government’s independent online safety regulator.

Their purpose is to help safeguard Australians at risk of online harms and to promote safer, more positive online experiences – particularly children.

As the first agency of its kind in the world, eSafety is at the forefront of preventing online risks, reducing the impacts of harms and building safer digital spaces.
