More than half of Australians are worried scams are becoming harder to spot, according to a survey of 2,000 adults released by Good Things Australia.

The research found just 30% of respondents feel confident avoiding online scams, while 28% feel confident managing privacy and safety settings.

Good Things Australia called for less digitally confident adults to remain a priority as the Australian Government develops its proposed Digital Duty of Care.

Get Online Week 2026 will run from 19 to 25 October with free community events across Australia providing practical support with digital skills, Medianet News Hub reports.
