About Duty Check

Duty Check helps Australian small businesses work out whether the proposed Digital Duty of Care covers their website, and what they would need to do.

Who runs it

Duty Check is an independent Australian business. It is not a government service and is not connected with the eSafety Commissioner.

Not legal advice

This site gives general information about a Bill that has not passed and may change. It is not legal advice, and the checker's result is not a decision about whether the law applies to you. For advice about your circumstances, speak to a lawyer.

How we keep it accurate

  • Every page shows the date it was last updated. The site is not updated in real time, so check the date against the news.
  • Facts are checked against the Bill as passed by the House of Representatives, its explanatory memorandum and the Parliamentary Library's Bills Digest. Each page links to the official sources.
  • Where we are interpreting the Bill, we say so. Key answers separate what the Bill says, our reading of it, and what is not yet decided.
  • Our reading has not been tested by eSafety or a court, and the Bill may change before it becomes law.
  • If you spot an error, email us and we will fix it.

Privacy

  • The checker needs no personal details. You see your result without giving a name, email or web address. Your answers are not saved in your browser and are gone when you close the page.
  • We count anonymous totals. We record how many people use the checker and which answers are chosen, so we can see which website features are common. These counts are not linked to you.
  • We measure visits without cookies. We use a privacy-focused analytics service that counts page visits and where they came from. It does not use cookies or track you across other sites.
  • If you sign up, we store your email address, the web address you give us if any, and your checker answers. We use them to send you updates on the Bill, tell you when our service is available, and understand which kinds of sites are affected.
  • We do not sell or share your details.
  • You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details at any time by emailing us.
