This page will help to inform you of both your legal obligations as a content provider and what you can do as an end user if you encounter content which you feel is illegal in Australia. It also contains some tips for helping kids to get the most out of the Internet.
Content ProviderAs a content provider the responsibility to both provide lawful content and to remove unlawful content rests with you. For help in determining what content is lawful in Australia please visit the ABA and IIA web sites.
End UserAs an end user, if you see content which is illegal in Australia and hosted in Australia* you can report this to ACMA (Australia Communications and Media Authority) using a form on their web site at http://www.acma.gov.au/.
* ACMA cannot enforce Australia's content laws overseas.
If you're looking for ways to filter what your children can view when they're on the internet, you could try using some filter software. This generally costs money and is not a foolproof system. Filter systems always let content through that they are designed to block, and/or block content which they shouldn't. However they are an option.
