Social Media Community Guidelines
- We want to create a safe and respectful environment on our social media channels and when you contact us
- The 1800RESPECT Community Guidelines outline acceptable behaviour in our online communities.
What our social media channels are for
Thanks for participating in our online communities.
Our online communities aim to provide a forum for general discussion on topics related to the services provided by 1800RESPECT. We provide information about the service, what to expect when you contact us, and information related to domestic, family and sexual violence support.
We encourage you to join the discussion, leave comments and links that relate to the topic of the discussion. At all times we welcome your constructive feedback.
1800RESPECT has accounts on the Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and YouTube platforms.
Please note that our social media channels are not monitored by counsellors. If you wish to speak to a counsellor, please call 1800 373 732, text 0458 737 732 or visit our website for online chat and video call services. Learn more here.
We review and moderate our online communities between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).
Please be aware that third party posts or comments on any of our online communities do not necessarily reflect the opinions of 1800RESPECT.
