Who we are
The eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) is Australia’s independent regulator for online safety.
We are the world’s first government agency dedicated to keeping people safer online.
We started operations in 2015 as the Children's eSafety Commissioner and we are now at the forefront of the fight against online risks and harms faced by adults as well as children.
We are a fast-growing team of educators, investigators, lawyers, policy analysts, technology experts, digital specialists and other professionals who share one goal – a safer and more positive online experience for all Australians.
Australia's eSafety Commissioner is Julie Inman Grant. Ms Inman Grant has extensive experience in the technology industry, having held senior public policy and safety roles with Microsoft, Twitter and Adobe.
