The long-awaited program of free Internet filters for Australian families as well as a telephone hotline where families obtain online safety advice, has just been launched.
The hotline’s phone number is 1800 880 176 and is open from 8:00am to 10:00 pm. Interpreters are available.
There are two different brands of free Internet filters available, which are Optenet Web Filter and Safe Eyes. Both can be downloaded directly from the NetAlert website or sent to the user in the mail in CD-ROM form.
Both filters are PC compatible but only Safe Eyes supports the Apple’s Mac platform.
