At eSafety, we are pioneers in online safety regulation, leading global efforts to combat digital harms and foster safer, more positive online experiences for all Australians.

Our mission is bold and far-reaching.

From tackling cyberbullying and child sexual exploitation, to confronting emerging harms brought about by current innovations such as generative AI and immersive technologies, we oversee Australia’s online safety landscape.

About the teams The Safer Communities team is responsible for delivering a wide range of programs and projects to support adults most at risk of online harm, such as First Nations adults, adults from the LGBTIQ+ community, culturally diverse audiences, those impacted by gendered harms, adults with cognitive disability and older Australians. The team also works on programs to reach these at-risk audiences through upskilling organisations and those on the frontline, such as sports administrators and athletes.

The Technology-Facilitated Abuse (TFA) Support Service is a national capability-building service that supports frontline workers, practitioners and domestic, family and sexual violence (DFSV) services to recognise and respond to technology-facilitated abuse and online safety concerns.

Through tailored advice, practical resources, direct phone and online support, and sector engagement, the Service strengthens capability to identify and address online risks such as digital tracking, harassment, surveillance and coercive control, while contributing to the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032 by improving understanding of technology-facilitated abuse and supporting safer outcomes for victim-survivors. The team also responds to enquiries from members of the public about online harms.
