Cyberbullying has been successfully prosecuted under section 474.17 of the Criminal Code. Live-streaming offending conduct, including assaults, may also be captured by Commonwealth offences. During sentencing, a court must take into account any harm suffered by a victim. The Office of the eSafety Commissioner works with social media services to remove cyberbullying material. The government has also initiated programs addressing cyberbullying and online activities, including the Australian Federal Police's ThinkUKnow program, which provides cybersafety education to school students, parents and teachers, covering online grooming, sexting, cyberbullying and general online safety, and the e-safety office's online safety, education and complaints process for young people who experience cyberbullying.
