What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is an online content subscription service where you can receive payment for the content you post by charging your followers, or 'fans,' who subscribe to your content, for a monthly subscription fee. You can also earn income by introducing new users to the platform. 

‘Content creators’ can upload photos and video, broadcast live streams, pay to view other profiles and send mass direct messages to followers. As a 'fan' you can also join or view content like paid posts or paid private messages without subscribing to a content creator. 

Nudity is permitted on OnlyFans, so the content posted by content creators is typically intimate. There are also reports of OnlyFans user content being leaked to the public.  

It’s important to note – Australians who share explicit images on the internet can place themselves at risk of wider circulation of those images online. If this happens to you or someone you know, eSafety can help.

Accounts are registered using an email, Google or Twitter account. OnlyFans content can be shared directly to Twitter.

If you are a parent or carer who is deciding whether a child should be allowed to use an online service or platform, you can also:

  • consider your child's readiness for the types of content and experiences they might encounter
  • help them understand what to do if they need help
  • provide ongoing support and monitoring, for example through regular check-ins with your child
  • agree to some rules about use of each service or platform.
