Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if what was said about me is actually defamatory?
A statement is defamatory if it harms your reputation by exposing you to hatred, contempt, or ridicule, or causes others to think less of you. If you believe a publication has damaged your reputation, it may be considered defamatory under Australian defamation laws.
What if the statement was made online or on social media?
Defamation laws apply equally to statements made online, including social media, online forums and chat groups. If your reputation is harmed by online content, you may have a claim.
The publication didn’t mention me by name - does it still count as defamation?
Yes. If a reasonable person can identify you from the statement, even if you are not named, you may still have grounds for a defamation claim.
Isn’t it just an opinion, not a fact?
Statements of opinion may be protected if they are clearly presented as opinion and based on proper material. However, if an opinion implies false facts or is not honestly held, it may still be defamatory.
What is a Concerns Notice?
A Concerns Notice is a formal letter you must send to the publisher before starting a defamation claim. It explains which statements you believe are defamatory and gives the publisher a chance to respond, apologise, or fix the issue before court action begins.
Can a small business sue for defamation?
A small business can sue for defamation if it has less than 10 full-time employees.
