Safer Internet Day is a global event dedicated to creating a safer online world for everyone.

Tuesday 7 February 2023 marks the 20th Safer Internet Day and the world is more connected than ever before, making online safety awareness even more important.

We are joining the eSafety Commissioner to support Safer Internet Day and we encourage you to get involved and Connect. Reflect. Protect.

  • Connect safely and with purpose – by keeping apps and devices secure and using social media in positive ways.
  • Reflect before we act – by taking a moment to consider how what we do and say online may affect others.
  • Protect ourselves and others by taking action – tell family, friends or colleagues about eSafety and visit esafety.gov.au for advice, support and to report online abuse.

By sharing the Connect. Reflect. Protect. message, we can work towards making every day a Safer Internet Day.

Empowering all Australians to have safer, more positive experiences online.

The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is Australia’s national independent regulator for online safety. Julie Inman Grant is the eSafety Commissioner.

eSafety strives to deliver comprehensive, compassionate and citizen-focused services. To achieve their Mission and Vision, eSafety focuses on six areas, each underpinned by a strategic goal and implemented by a range of well-tested tactics and activities.

Purpose: Their purpose is to help safeguard Australians at risk from online harms and to promote safer, more positive online experiences.
