"[The Ministers] welcomed a partnership with the Family Assistance Office network to help Australian families make their children’s internet experience safer. Part of the Australian Government’s $189 million NetAlert—Protecting Australian Families Online programme is to inform parents and carers of children practical ways in which to protect their families, whether from online scams, cyber bullying or online stalking. Medicare, Centrelink and the Australian Taxation Office, through the Family Assistance Office shopfronts, along with the Child Support Agency shopfronts, will distribute information to parents, carers and grandparents. This initiative combines services and education, regulation and policing to ensure that Australian families can get the best of the internet, while minimising potential harm."
