Online safety

When you meet people on the internet, its not like meeting them in real life. This is because you can't see them, and you don't know if they really are who they say they are.

You should treat them as strangers, even if you talk to them every day.

Remember, never give away any of these details to someone on the internet:

  • Home Address
  • Phone Numbers
  • Email Address
  • Passwords

If someone keeps asking you for any of these details, tell your parents or a teacher straight away.

Remember, if you need to talk to someone you can call Kids Helpline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1800 55 1800, or use our web or email counselling services.
