Vision & Mission

Digital Defence aims to build a safer, more inclusive online environment in Australia through education, policy and legislative reform, and working together with social media platforms and enforcement agencies.
Digital Defence will equip individuals, businesses and communities with the tools to recognise, report and challenge harmful online conduct.
