Scams Awareness Week is a national campaign dedicated to helping Australians recognise, avoid and report scams. Each year, it brings together government, businesses, community and consumer groups, educational organisations and individuals to raise awareness and strengthen our collective defence against scammers. By working together, we can help ensure all Australians stay safe from scams.
Scams Awareness Week 2026
This year Scams Awareness Week will run 24 to 28 August.
Scams Awareness Week is a time to raise our voices against scammers and share our scam stories. The more we talk, the less power scammers have. When you share your scam experiences you're helping others identify and avoid scams.
