Your family – your choice

NetAlert – Protecting Australian Families Online will help you manage your family's internet experience based on your values and needs.

NetAlert provides:

  • information and advice on internet safety strategies for your family
  • a choice of internet content filters to download or order and install on your home computer
  • advice on how to make a complaint about prohibited online content or illegal online activity.

Internet content filters are a tool to be used in conjunction with parental supervision – they do not provide total protection in themselves.

To SEE your way to internet safety:

  • Supervise your children on the internet. Set and stick to family rules about appropriate usage
  • Educate yourself and your family about the potential dangers online, and teach them how to make the right choices about online behaviour
  • Equip your family with online protection by downloading a free internet content filter.
