What Does Good Cyber Conduct Look Like?

Practical principles for behaving safely, responsibly and respectfully in digital spaces.

Good Cyber Conduct starts with recognising that there are real people behind accounts, messages, profiles and data.

Protect your own accounts and information, but also respect information that belongs to other people. Do not access accounts, devices or data simply because a technical opportunity exists.

Think before posting, forwarding or sharing. Information can spread quickly and may be difficult to remove once it has been published or copied.

Respect consent and boundaries. Harassment, threats, impersonation, doxxing and the sharing of private material can cause serious harm and may have legal consequences depending on the circumstances.

When you make a mistake online, take responsibility. Stop the harmful behaviour, secure anything that may have been compromised, correct misinformation where appropriate, and seek help when the situation is serious.
