The Federal Government has launched a voluntary code to improve user safety on dating apps. Companies will be required to take action against users who violate online safety and improve how complaints are escalated.

Key Points
  • Dating apps have adopted a world-leading voluntary code of conduct to promote online dating safety.
  • The research by the Australian Institute of Criminology finds that from a sample of 9,987 Australian dating platform users surveyed, 8.8 per cent had used these platforms while under 18 years of age.
  • The companies behind Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Grindr, RSVP and e-harmony are among those who put up their hands to adopt the code, developed after the 2023 national round-table on online dating safety.
