Australian Government Signs United Against Online Abuse Charter

15 Jun 2024

United Against Online Abuse is proud to announce that the Australian Government has now signed the UAOA charter. 

By signing the charter, the Government expresses their commitment to upholding and promoting best practice in relation to the prevention and removal of hate speech, and to supporting dialogue, research and collaboration around the subject.

The Australian Government has already carried out significant work in this space. In recent years, it passed an Online Safety Act (2021), researched and consulted on safety measures on online platforms, and created new online safety resources for sport in collaboration with the eSafety Commission.
