Verification

The Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) is a target for impersonation by certain online haters. OHPI is an anti-hate organisation. This page has been created to help members of the public verify both our legitimacy and the any social media accounts claiming to belong to OHPI.

How do you know we are legitimate?

OHPI is a real organisation. We are structured as a Public Company limited by guarantee. This can be verified with the Australian Government’s corporate regulator, ASIC, through their search facility.  Select “Organisation and Business Name” then enter “Online Hate” to view our record.

OHPI is a registered charity. We are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profit Commission. We also have DGR status, meaning we are approved to accept tax deductible donations, see our online record at Australian Taxation Office’s ABR site to verify this.

OHPI is endorsed by the Australian Government as a Harm Prevention Charity.

OHPI is recognised in the media as leader in the field. BBC News, ABC Radio National, SBS News, The Australian, The Age, The Herald Sun, The Sydney Morning Herald,  Huffington Post, The Bendigo Advertiser, National Indigenous Radio Service, Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association,  The Australian Jewish News, J-Wire, The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, The Forward, Social Times, and others.

OHPI Endorsements

Anything OHPI endorses which is not run by OHPI (and therefore listing above) will be listed here. Any website or social media account claiming endorsement from OHPI that is not listed here does not have our endorsement. While we are in contact with the people running these pages, and support the work they are doing, OHPI is not responsible for the content they publish.

Please note there are also other Facebook pages which OHPI’s Facebook page may like. A like on Facebook is not an endorsement. This said, we would be happy to speak to the owners of any page the OHPI page likes if the owners of that page would like our formal endorsement.
