Scamproof: Deepfakes, AI Fraud & Digital Self-Defence
About this Event
That call from your “Bank manager” may not be real. It could be AI.
Scams are becoming more convincing. With AI-generated voices, deepfake videos, fake messages, and voice cloning, scammers can now create content that looks and sounds remarkably real.
But staying safe does not mean becoming a technology expert.
This practical digital safety and AI scam awareness workshop helps you understand how modern scams work, what makes them convincing, and what you can do to protect yourself and the people around you.
Using clear explanations, real-world examples, and practical scenarios, you will learn how to spot suspicious calls, messages, videos, and online interactions, respond without panic, and reduce your risk of falling victim to AI-powered fraud.
The focus is simple: know what to look for, know what to do, and know when to stop and check.
Who this is for
This session is designed for anyone who wants to feel more confident navigating an increasingly AI-enabled digital world:

- Adults supporting elderly family members or children with digital safety
- Small business owners concerned about scams and impersonation

Good to know
No technical background is required. No AI experience is required.
This is a practical AI safety, scam awareness, and digital self-defence workshop designed for everyday people. You do not need to understand how AI works behind the scenes. The focus is on recognising risks, making safer decisions, and knowing what to do when something seems suspicious.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The goal is not to make you afraid of technology, but to help you feel more confident using it safely.
==========================================
Refund, Cancellation and Transfer Policy
1) Your legal rights: Our services come with guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded. Nothing in this policy limits them. This policy applies to tickets for this event only.
2) If we cancel or materially change the event: If we cancel this event, or change its date, content, format or delivery mode so materially that it no longer meets your reasonable needs, you can choose either:
(a) a full refund of the total you paid, including Eventbrite fees, to your original payment method; or
(b) a transfer to a later event of your choice.
We do not deduct any fee from these refunds. Minor changes, such as a substitute presenter, a running-order change, or a different room at the same venue, do not entitle you to a refund under this clause. If you think a change is material, email and we will decide within 5 business days. We will give reasons if we decline, and your legal rights are unaffected.
3) If you cannot attend: Tickets are non-refundable for change of mind. If you tell us at least 14 days before the event, you may move your ticket once to another session, subject to availability. It has no cash value.
4) Transferring your ticket to another person: You may transfer your ticket to another person up to 7 days before the event, by emailing with the new attendee’s name and email, or via Eventbrite’s transfer tool where enabled. Tickets must not be resold for more than you paid. We set this cut-off because we confirm final attendee numbers with the venue and caterer, and prepare name badges and course materials, 7 days before each event.
5) No-show or leaving early: No refund or credit is available if you do not attend or leave part-way through, except as required by law.
6) Refund requests: Email with your name, order number and the clause you rely on. We acknowledge requests within 5 business days and decide them within 10 business days. Approved refunds go to the original payment method and normally appear within 5 to 10 business days.
7) Conduct: We may refuse entry or remove an attendee who endangers others or seriously disrupts the event. No refund is due for that. This does not limit your legal rights.
8) Tickets sold through Eventbrite: Eventbrite processes tickets. Its refund tools and terms apply in addition to this policy, and we will honour the rights set out here. For advisory, training or consulting under a separate written agreement, that agreement’s terms apply together with clauses 1 and 2.
