Our Policies

Practical, forward‑looking policies designed to protect Australians, strengthen families, and build a safer, fairer, more resilient nation.

Policy Overview and AEC Compliance

The policies published by the Australian Anti‑Scam Party outline community‑focused approaches to scam‑prevention, victim support, institutional accountability, and public safety.

These policies are educational and consultative. They are designed to help Australians understand emerging threats, strengthen community resilience, and support victims of fraud.

The policies do not promote electoral outcomes, political campaigning, or voting directives.

Policy 6 — Community Institutions in Government Planning — is strictly non‑partisan. It supports churches, charities, and community organisations in delivering scam‑prevention workshops, victim‑support programs, and safety initiatives without engaging in political advocacy.

All policy content complies with Australian Electoral Commission requirements for non‑campaigning public communication.

1. Mandatory Scam‑Prevention Standards

Australia needs strong, enforceable standards that require institutions to actively prevent scams rather than react after the damage is done.

  • Robust identity‑verification systems
  • Real‑time scam detection and intervention
  • Mandatory cross‑industry data‑sharing for scam alerts
  • Clear, accessible reporting pathways for the public

2. Penalties for Organisations That Fail to Prevent Scams

Institutions must be held accountable when their systems fail to protect Australians. Responsibility cannot be optional.

  • Meaningful penalties for failing to meet prevention standards
  • Mandatory compensation pathways for affected individuals
  • Public reporting of scam‑related failures and response times

3. National Anti‑Scam Education Program

Education is one of the strongest tools we have. Australians deserve clear, practical information that helps them stay safe.

  • School‑based digital safety and scam‑awareness programs
  • Nationwide public‑awareness campaigns
  • Community workshops and accessible online resources
  • Targeted support for vulnerable and high‑risk groups

4. Reporting and Support for Individuals Affected by Scams

Victims deserve fast, clear, and compassionate support — not confusion, delays, or blame.

  • One unified national reporting portal
  • Faster, more coordinated response processes
  • Accessible recovery and compensation pathways
  • Emotional, financial, and legal support services

5. Transparency and Accountability

Australians deserve to know how institutions are performing and whether protections are improving.

  • Public reporting of national scam statistics
  • Independent oversight of scam‑prevention performance
  • Annual reviews of institutional compliance
  • Clear accountability processes for failures

6. Community Institutions in Government Planning

Churches and other community organisations play a vital role in supporting Australians. Their involvement in community‑focused planning strengthens national resilience and improves scam‑prevention outcomes.

  • Consultative involvement in local and regional planning
  • Partnerships for scam‑prevention workshops and education
  • Support for victim‑assistance and community safety programs
  • Non‑partisan, service‑oriented participation only
