We want you to always feel safe when you’re travelling on Victoria’s public transport. We work closely with Victoria Police to ensure a safe and secure journey for everyone.
If you experience or witness unwanted sexual and anti-social behaviours on public transport, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, then report it.
Behaviours that make you or others feel threatened, frightened, or uncomfortable are never acceptable on public transport and should be reported to police.
Behaviours that are unacceptable on public transport and can be reported to police*
If you witness or experience any of these behaviours, you can discreetly report them to police through STOPIT, a non-urgent, text-based notification service. Just text ‘STOPIT’ to 0499 455 455.
NOTE: STOPIT is not monitored live, so if you're in immediate danger, call Triple Zero (000).
Every text helps police identify and catch offenders. Police will investigate incidents reported via STOPIT, and some offenders could be charged.
Remember to save the STOPIT number to your phone in case you, or someone you know, needs it in the future.
If English isn't your first language, translated instructions are available for reporting unwanted behaviours at Unwanted and anti-social behaviour on public transport | Text STOPIT to report it.
*The examples provided here are all types of behaviours that can be reported through the Victoria Police STOPIT service.
If you or someone you know is a victim of unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport, a detailed list of support services is available at Support and resources for sexual offences and child abuse page.
