Public consultation
Consultation on the phase two codes
The industry associations responsible for the codes conducted a robust public consultation process that reflected the requirements outlined in eSafety’s Development of Industry Codes under the Online Safety Act Position Paper.
Public consultation included:
Proactively emailing over 200 stakeholders in each of the categories identified in the Position Paper with draft codes and Discussion Paper encouraging them to lodge a submission, as well as promoting both consultation periods to the general public via the media.
A virtual roundtable with expert stakeholders on key issues relating to the draft codes.
Input received from these efforts has been published on this page, including: submissions received (where permission has been given to publish), summary of industry response to submissions, and meeting summaries reflecting the discussion at expert roundtable.
2024 Submissions
25 submissions from organisations and members of the public were received in the second round of consultation. Submissions where the submitter has granted permission to publish are available for download below.
