The role of the eSafety Commissioner

The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is Australia’s independent regulator for online safety and helps Australians have safer, more positive online experiences in accordance with the Online Safety Act 2021 (the “OSA”).

eSafety’s remit includes administering regulatory schemes, mandatory industry codes, the Basic Online Safety Expectations, educational and promotional content, and programs relevant to online safety, in addition to coordinating activities of Commonwealth Departments, authorities and agencies relating to online safety for Australians.

As part of the OSA, the eSafety Commissioner is an independent statutory office holder supported by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
