Your donation powers what’s next
2 December 2025
Kia ora and thank you for backing Netsafe. Your support keeps online safety help free for people across Aotearoa, and it’s driving our next wave of work. Including:
Digital Guardians Guide (coming soon)
An interactive and comprehensive toolkit for parents and whānau with clear, non-judgy advice and simple steps to build safer digital habits at home.
Scam Support and Rapid Response
Scams are growing and changing fast. This service isn’t funded right now, we’re doing it anyway, but stretched. Donations let us create fresh scam resources, issue timely alerts, and support people with “what to do next” when they’re targeted.
Youth-led initiatives nationwide
We’re supporting rangatahi from across NZ to take part in our Youth Action Squad to co-design resources and initiatives that reflect real online life. Funding covers workshops, collaboration, and youth-driven content.
AI companions: emerging harm
Chatbot “friends” are booming, and we’re seeing risks like dependency, sexualised content, manipulation, and unsafe advice. We’re researching NZ impacts and building guidance and response pathways.
Rising harms: sextortion
Sextortion is escalating, especially for young people. We’re strengthening prevention through campaigns, school/whānau guidance, and support pathways so targets can act early and safely.
Thank you for making this possible. If you can donate again or share this page, you’re helping keep more people safe online.
