Report offensive content to the ACMA
If you see content which is offensive or illegal you can make a report to the ACMA.
Report suspicious online behaviour to the Australian Federal Police
If you are concerned about online behaviour that involves sexual exploitation of a child you can report it to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
The AFP works with State and Territory police and international law enforcement agencies to investigate online child sex exploitation using telecommunications services, such as internet or mobile phones.

If you know about a child who is in immediate danger or risk call Triple Zero (000) or contact your local police.
