Safety

Meet people who are real, and who turn up

Everyone who posts or joins a plan adds a profile photo and a selfie check first. Here is how Bunchups keeps meet-ups safe, and what you can do too.

Safety and showing up

Checked before you meet, covered on the day

Everyone who posts or joins a plan adds a photo and a selfie check first. Tools for the day are always one tap away.

On the day

A quick check-in, 15 minutes after you start.

All goodSomething's not right

Always meet somewhere public first. In an emergency, call 000.

A profile photo matched to a selfie before anyone can post or join.

Keep the exact place hidden until someone's going. Others see the suburb.

Send a friend where you'll be and who's going. The link stops working after the plan.

Call 000, share the meeting spot, or report and block, from the chat or the plan.

Blocking works both ways. Reports go to the Bunchups team to review.

Meet-up tips

Choose a cafe, park, court or library for a first meet-up. Planners can keep the exact spot private until someone is going.

Let a friend or family member know the plan, where it is and when you expect to be back.

Chat in the app until you are comfortable. Never share bank details or send money to someone you have met on Bunchups.

If something feels off, you can leave at any time. You do not owe anyone an explanation.

Report a person or a plan from their profile or the chat. Blocking works both ways, and reports go to the Bunchups team.

If you or someone else is in danger, call 000. For support any time, Lifeline is on 13 11 14.

Read our Community Guidelines and Child Safety Standards. Bunchups is for adults aged 18 and over.

Someone nearby is probably keen too.
