Fairfield City Council prioritises information, education and awareness on Community Safety and Crime What is Community Safety and Crime Prevention?

Fairfield City Council (FCC) has a long-standing commitment to improving community safety and reducing crime in Fairfield City. Since 1998, Council's Crime Prevention and Community Safety Program has led the implementation of many crime prevention and community safety initiatives. FCC employs a range of strategies to ensure information, educations and awareness on Community Safety and Crime Preven

tion Projects is provided to the community. A range of strategies must be used to reduce the incidence of crime as no strategy individually can effectively address all the factors that influence crime. The following is the range of crime prevention strategies:
• Early intervention/developmental - this strategy is based around the provision of support at critical times in social, physical and mental development to prevent later offending
• Community development - this strategy is based around a combination of programs aimed at building up communities to be able to address their own social problems
• Situational/environmental - based around the improvement of the physical environment in which people live and reducing the opportunity of crime through effective urban design and planning
• Law enforcement - involves investigating and arresting offenders to prevent repeat offending and deter potential offenders. Community safety is more than just the level of crime; it is also about how safe people feel in their community, a feeling that can be influenced by many factors. To create a safer environment for people to work, live and play in, all members of the community must work together. Central to the success of the Program has been the strong partnerships that have been formed with a range of stakeholders, including government and non-government agencies, police, businesses and residents. This page will promote Community Safety Projects, Provide important safety information and share this information with partner organisations such as the the NSW Police Force.

We’ve notified Roblox of our intention to directly test the safety commitments they made last year amid growing concerns regarding child grooming and sexual exploitation risks.

Following engagement with us at a senior level in 2025, Roblox made 9 commitments to support compliance with its obligation to keep Australians – particularly children – safer on their platform.

Roblox informed us at the end of 2025 that it had delivered on its commitments which included:
🛡️ making accounts for users aged under 16 private by default
🛡️ introducing tools to prevent adult users from contacting under 16s without parental consent
🛡️ switching off key features by default for Australian kids like direct chat and ‘experience chat’ until the user has gone through age estimation
🛡️ voice chat will not be allowed between adults and 13–15-year-olds, in addition to the current prohibition on the use of this feature by under 13s.

We’ve been monitoring the delivery of these commitments alongside our broader assessment of the service and any new features it implements.

Subject to the outcome of this assessment and testing, we may take further action under the Online Safety Act.

Penalties for failing to comply with the Act, include seeking penalties of up to $49.5 million.

New codes focused on age-restricted material such as online po*******hy, high impact violence and self-harm come into force on 9 March and apply to Roblox.

These also contain requirements for online gaming services to prohibit and take proportionate action against non-consensual sharing of intimate images, the grooming of children and sexual extortion.
