We’re here to help.

Dodo is committed to helping customers affected by domestic and family violence, and non-domestic sexual violence. We believe that everyone has a right to live free from violence, abuse and fear.

 

Our commitment

The wellbeing and safety of our customers affected is our priority, and we have procedures and policies in place to help protect the safety of our customers.

We understand that each person’s experience is shaped by a combination of factors – including gender, culture, language, disability, sexuality, age, financial situation, and social or geographic location, which can create unique barriers to safety, privacy, and access to support.

Our Specialised Care team members are dedicated for customers facing family and domestic abuse.   Our Specialised Care team are equipped with the expertise and authority to provide customer-specific support and assist those who are experiencing challenges in accessing and managing their critical communication services.

We understand that telecommunication is an essential service, and that domestic and family violence, and, non-domestic sexual violence, can be a reason for non-payment.  Our Specialised Care team can also provide support via our financial hardship payment assistance program. 
Our goal is to keep you safe and assist you to remain connected.


Depending on your individual circumstances, some of the options we may be able to offer to help you remain safe and/or connected include:

  • Update/add additional security to your account
  • Add/remove authorised parties
  • Change your mobile or internet plan
  • Review options available to move service(s) onto a new account
  • Remove a service you no longer require
  • Assist with creating a new service (mobile/internet)
  • Swap your mobile SIM
  • Restore a service cancelled due to non-payment (if available)
  • Relocate your service
  • Provide short or long-term payment plan or financial hardship assistance
