Strengthen your community against scams and fraud.
In 2024, Australians lost a combined $2.03 billion to scams and fraud. While this may seem like a scary number, it’s actually a sign we’re fighting back — that number was 25% higher in 2023^.
The first defence against scams and fraud is education, which is why we partner with businesses and community groups across Australia to run free Scam Awareness Sessions.
Through these in-person and online events, we can share our knowledge and empower people across Australia to recognise, avoid, and continue combatting scams and fraud.
What you'll learn:
- how to spot a scam

- what to do if you've been scammed.
Tailored to your audience:
- We can run our Scam Awareness Sessions in-person or as a webinar

Three simple steps to keep us all safe from scams.
-
Stop.
If a call, email, or text feels wrong – stop and take a breath. A genuine organisation wouldn’t pressure you to act immediately. If you’re not sure, say ‘no’, hang up, or delete. -
Check.
Do you know who you are talking to? Verify the details first and only contact organisations using contact information that you find yourself from their official website or app. -
Protect.
Act quickly and contact your bank if you notice unusual activity or if a scammer gets your money or information. Report it to Scamwatch and help keep others safe.
