About the Adult Online Safety Centre
Our mission is to ensure that the availability of Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery (NCII) is reduced or eliminated, and that victim/survivors are supported well. We are survivor-informed, working to centre the experiences of adults (18+) affected by intimate image abuse.
Who We Are
The Adult Online Safety Centre (AOSC) is dedicated to combating intimate image abuse and supporting victim/survivors. We work with perpetrators through education while centring the needs of those affected.
While we are survivor-informed, we are not a survivor-led organisation. We collaborate closely with victim/survivors to ensure our services, research, and advocacy reflect their lived experiences and needs.
Victim Support
Dedicated helplines and services for all adults experiencing online harm.
Data & Policy
Informing legislation and shaping changes in policy to protect victims.
Global Technology
Tech-based tools like StopNCII.org to facilitate automated reporting and removal.
Partnerships
A network of partners working together to address NCII as an issue.
Who We Are
Survivor-informed Practice
