Education Portal
The Technology Safe Online Education & Learning Portal is a secure, on-demand training platform with 150+ bite-size and in-depth courses designed to help victim-survivors of domestic and family violence (and the organisations that support them) understand technology abuse and learn practical steps to stay safe online and offline.
Phones, apps, cloud accounts, trackers, and smart-home devices can be misused to monitor, intimidate, or control. Understanding common tactics makes the invisible visible. Through our courses we victim survivors are empowered to understand the signs of technology abuse and coercive control, and take the action required to prevent it.
Tailored for:
-
Victim-survivors seeking clear, non-technical guidance to protect privacy, devices, accounts, and routines
-
Support services (refuges, casework, outreach, legal/health/education) building team capability
-
Friends & family supporting someone at risk and needing simple, safe advice
Technology Safe also offers Support Services Training and Victim Survivor Training.

Early detection prevents escalation
Knowing red flags (e.g., unknown logins, sudden battery/data spikes, location “coincidences,” unfamiliar Bluetooth devices) helps people act before digital abuse turns into greater harm.
Privacy and safety are restored
Training shows how to secure accounts (strong passwords, MFA, recovery resets), lock down phones and computers, and stop unwanted location sharing and reducing immediate risk.
Safer daily routines
Survivors learn practical habits: safe contact plans, lock-screen privacy, quick-exit strategies, social media hygiene, and how to handle tracker alerts or car/telematics access.
Informed choices about devices
Guidance on “preserve vs. clean vs. replace” avoids destroying potential evidence and helps pick the safest path in each situation.
Protection for children and supporters
Training covers kids’ devices, co-parenting apps, and what friends/family should and shouldn’t share, reducing accidental leaks of sensitive information.
Residential
Providing peace of mind by ensuring personal conversations, activities, and sensitive information remain secure within your private space.
Commercial
Securing boardrooms, offices, and sensitive areas, businesses can protect confidential information, maintain competitive advantage, and ensure regulatory compliance.
