Online Safety with hints, tips and information to download, learn and share
Here at iiNet we're passionate about the Internet and all the cool things it offers. It's a place to keep in touch with family and friends, stay informed with up-to-date news and global affairs and it acts like a digital Personal Assistant - we can pay our bills, purchase and deliver gifts and find out how to get from A to B.
To make the most of the ‘net, we need to be conscious of the safety risks involved when interacting online. We're not here to spoil the fun, just help you be more aware that not everyone has the best intentions when wheeling and dealing in cyber space.
Help us spread the word by downloading and sharing our fact sheets with your Nan, that nice neighbour next door or anyone else who could use a few pointers.
