Dating safely
Most people you meet are exactly who they say. These habits protect you from the few who aren’t.
Report romance scams to Scamwatch
If someone you met online asks for money, gift cards or crypto, stop contact and report it to Scamwatch. Contact your bank straight away if you have sent money.

Report cybercrime to ReportCyber
If you are blackmailed, hacked or lose money online, report it through ReportCyber from the Australian Signals Directorate. Reports are passed to police, including the Queensland Police Service. In an emergency, call 000.

Take breaks on long drives to and from dates
Dating across Queensland can mean hours on the road. Stop every two hours for at least 15 minutes, plan your rest stops, and stay the night rather than driving home tired.
