Family Friendly
Screen Protection
Virgin Broadband is a bit cheeky and fun, like any Virgin company. And yet, we know that the Internet has a lot of material on it that you wouldn't be happy for your kids to be looking at. Not only that, even adults can be affected by unwanted spam, viruses and other internet nasties.
IIA Family Friendly ISP Program
Virgin Broadband is pleased to be a participant in the Internet Industry Association's "Family Friendly ISP" program. Australian ISPs bearing this seal have agreed to comply with the IIA Codes of Practice. The Codes of Practice are registered with and monitored by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). For more information on the Family Friendly ISP program, please go to this page.
How to Obtain a Scheduled Filter
Content filtering software helps you control the content accessed from your computer. It can be used to restrict and monitor Web sites, Email, Chat, IM and newsgroups that may be offensive and/or inappropriate for children. The Internet Industry Association has approved a list of Internet Content Filters which have been independently tested and meet the criteria outlined in the IIA content code.
Further Important Information for Internet Users
If you're a parent considering Virgin Broadband at home, you may wish to read the material on the IIA website which explains what this all means, and contains heaps of useful information including links to software and tools to help you keep your internet family friendly.
