Led by the eSafety Commissioner in Australia, Safer Internet Day highlights the importance of online safety issues and aims to foster a safer and more positive digital culture and environment within our communities.

It is an important annual reminder to educate ourselves and others on being safe online.

Here are 5 tips to help create a safer internet experience:

1. Be kind: practice respect, empathy and kindness online
2. Be mindful: balance your time online and consume and share positive and respectful content
3. Speak up: report online abuse and harmful content
4. Start the conversation: talk about online safety with your networks and communities, family, friends and colleagues
5. Share online safety resources: promote online safety tools and tips with your community
