Daybreak Community Guidelines and T&Cs
Community guidelines
Hello Sunday Morning provides the Daybreak app in conjunction with partner organisations, including the Australian Government Department of Health. Daybreak is a peer-to-peer support service. Daybreak is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship members have with their health care professionals. We do not provide crisis support or counselling. If you live in Australia and you or someone you know is in crisis and need urgent help, call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or, in an emergency, call 000. If you are living outside of Australia, please contact your local support services.
The Daybreak Community Guidelines are designed to create a safe, anonymous, supportive community forum.
✓ Please do:
- Get involved! A good way to start is to share your mood and support anyone whose posts you find useful.
- Respect other people’s beliefs, opinions and personal experiences. Be non-judgmental and don’t make assumptions.
- Be yourself but stay anonymous. Don’t post your or anyone else’s, full name or any identifying information and don’t pretend to be another person.
- Keep your log in details secure.
- Report content. Please tell us if there’s content that may be causing a problem. Also use the report button if you are worried about someone.
- Be considerate that content you post may be harmful or triggering to others.
- If you are experiencing a crisis, it is important you contact your local emergency services. We do not monitor the Community Forum requests on a 24 hours/7 days per week basis, so it is critical to your safety that you do not wait for us to respond.
- If you live in Australia, please call 000 if you (or anyone else) are in immediate risk of harm. If you live elsewhere, please contact your local emergency services.
- All members must respect the privacy and confidentiality of other members by not sharing content from Daybreak outside of the community. This includes capturing screenshots or taking photos of your peer-to-peer feed and copying and sharing people’s messages outside of Daybreak.
✘ Please don’t:
- Use an email address or username that could identify you or anyone you know, in any way
- Include any details of locations that could identify you in any way. For example, mentioning Melbourne may not be identifying but mentioning Finley may. Note, anything that can link a member nickname with a location may be identifying.
- Post any inappropriate, obscene, offensive or provocative content.
- Break the law in any way, and don’t encourage others to break the law.
- Post with commercial interests in mind or to promote any specific religion or political ideology.
- Refer or invite members to third party sites e.g., social media or Spotify, through the Daybreak app
- Provide professional advice such as legal, medical or financial
- Provide any advice which is potentially harmful and/or illegal.
- Recommend medications, supplements or vitamins, including the specific names of any of these substances. This includes advice regarding substances (including supplements or vitamins), which is considered medical advice. If you would like to support other members, please recommend they visit their GP or the National Alcohol and Other Drug hotline on 1800 250 015.
- Post or behave in a way that interferes with Daybreak or disregard App controls or directions from Hello Sunday Morning staff.
How to post safely in the community
We want you to feel comfortable to talk openly in the community about difficult experiences, but we want to encourage you to do this in a way that meets your needs, as well as protects vulnerable members of our community. To help with this, we have put together a few guidelines that may help you to talk about your experiences safely in the community.
Think about what it is you need
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts and feelings and are looking for immediate support, there are services who specialise in providing this, such as crisis support services. To access these, please click here.
Think about how and what you post
Certain topics can be triggering therefore, out of respect for people with a lived experience and survivors, please do not publish content that contains graphic or specific details, or any descriptive account of:
- Your or anyone else’s medication or dosages;
- Recommending diets, potentially harmful weight loss practices and BMI ;
- Self-harm methods or plans;
- Traumatic experiences (e.g., death of a loved one);
- Sexual or physical abuse; or
- Any other content that others may find distressing or harmful in any way.
Post a content or trigger warning
This can be written at the beginning of your post. If possible, write the body of your message in the comments section underneath your trigger warning. This will give other vulnerable members the opportunity to make an informed decision before reading your post.
Some examples of when to use trigger warnings are:
- Any of the topics mentioned above including;
- When recounting a challenging time you may have experienced e.g., domestic violence or suicidal thoughts
- When sharing about a recent death of a loved one
- When discussing traumatic experiences such as abuse or neglect
If possible, let others know that you are safe or that you have a safety plan
It’s ok not to be ok, but it can be helpful for other members to know that you have steps in place to keep yourself safe if you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings. This might include letting members know that you have crisis support numbers handy and plan to contact them if things get worse for you, or that you have a close friend or family member who can help you.
Keep your comments turned on
It can be distressing when a member shares suicidal thoughts or feelings but then turns their comments off so that other members cannot provide support to them. Posts of this nature may be removed by our community moderators.
Avoid posting specific details
Shares that provide details about a suicide or suicide attempt, including information about methods, the location of a suicide, or locations where suicide attempts may have happened will be removed by our community moderators. In order to ensure Daybreak is safe for both you and other members, please:
- Avoid posting any plan of suicide or harm in the online community. Daybreak is not a crisis service – instead we encourage you to reach out to the services linked above.
- Avoid remarks that could be considered defamatory or that might break the law.
- Avoid posting ongoing/ repetitive criticism of a service offering.
Make sure your username protects your anonymity
Do not include any identifying information in your username or email address. This includes:
- Any part of your or someone else’s actual name;
- A nickname for which you are well known; or
- Anything that may identify your location.
Examples of safe and unsafe posts in the community
Discussing medications, vitamins and supplements
- When discussing medications, supplements or vitamins it is important to keep in mind that we do not know other members’ medical history. What is okay for you may not be okay for others. We encourage safe discussions around these topics, but please avoid mentioning medications by name, e.g. Valium, Antabuse, Naltrexone, detailing dosage, and avoid recommending any of the above. Please advise others to see their medical practitioners where able.
Safe posts:
‘I recently saw my GP for antidepressants. They have been working really well for me!’
‘I got a script from my doctor for some sedatives to help me sleep, hope it improves soon.’
‘Maybe you should see your GP for your sleep.’
Unsafe posts:
‘You should take Melatonin for sleep.’
‘I take 20mg of Prozac every morning.’
‘You should ask your doctor for a script for Valium.’
‘Naltrexone works for me.’
What if I breach the Community Guidelines?
We understand that occasionally the guidelines may be breached unintentionally. If this occurs, one of our moderators will contact you through the app via an icon in the top right-hand corner.
Your post will be taken off the Daybreak app. You will be notified of this action and remain free to participate in the online community.
In the case for breach of Anonymity, you will receive a message with clear actions and reference to the Community Guidelines. If you do not respond or fail to take the recommended action (e.g., changing your username to be less identifying), your account will be suspended 7 days after the email was sent.
For members who repeatedly or intentionally breach these Community Guidelines, access to Daybreak may be removed for a period of time. Moderators understand that these repeated breaches are a consequence of other difficulties a member may be experiencing at the time. However, they also have a duty of care to the Daybreak community. In these circumstances, the process is as follows:
1. Access is removed for a designated period and the member will be informed of such action.
2. If the member breaches again, access is removed for a designated period and the member will be invited to renew their access at the end of that time.
3. When a member’s access has been removed, they will not be able to log into their account. If they wish to provide feedback or make a complaint, they can email support@daybreakprogram.org
Note: Hello Sunday Morning reserves the right to remove a member’s access to Daybreak immediately to protect the community from further impact.
What happens when I make a share report?
Members can create share reports by clicking on the three dots in the top right-hand corner of a members share and clicking ‘Report’.
Moderators investigate the post and comments for members who may need additional support or have not followed the Community Guidelines. You will receive a courtesy message from our moderators to let you know we have seen your report and will look into it further.
If the post doesn’t follow our guidelines, it may be removed from the active community feed and the member will be messaged to let them know why we have removed the post.
If the post follows our guidelines and they need some support from outside the Daybreak community, the reported member will be messaged with support services suited to their concerns.
Daybreak Moderators
Hello Sunday Morning has a team of Moderators who monitor activity and posts on the Daybreak app. They work normal business hours therefore any posts that occur on the weekend, public holidays or after hours are moderated on the Monday or the following business day.
The role of the moderator is to:
- Ensure that the Daybreak community is a safe, anonymous and non-judgemental forum for members to support and be supported by each other in line with these Community Guidelines;
- Identify and respond to risk and community guideline incidents in Daybreak;
- Respond to members’ share reports
The Moderators role is not that of therapist or counsellor and therefore, should not replace the role of your health care professional. Their role is not to contribute to conversations or provide counselling or crisis support. For urgent and confidential support, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467 or 000 in an emergency. For outside Australia, please contact your local emergency services.
Self-care for members
Communicating online with a diverse group of people can be challenging. Sometimes we struggle to convey what we mean through the written word, or others might misinterpret what was written. Many factors contribute to these communication breakdowns: how we are feeling on the day, our personal experiences and backgrounds, our culture—the list goes on. It’s inevitable that at some stage, we will unintentionally offend or trigger someone in the community with what we have written or feel that way ourselves.
The important thing is to be aware when this is happening so that you can take steps towards supporting yourself. This might include taking a short break from the Daybreak community, checking in with those people you know are most helpful for you at times when you are distressed, such as close friends, support workers, carers, your doctor, psychologist and/or family to talk about your experience.

Daybreak Privacy Policy
1. PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY
Hello Sunday Morning (ABN 82 145 512 125) (HSM) is a non-profit organisation which aims to assist individuals to change their relationship with alcohol. HSM owns Daybreak which is accessible via a mobile app (DAYBREAK).
This Privacy Policy outlines how HSM collects, handles and protects information which identifies individuals (PERSONAL INFORMATION, including information which is SENSITIVE or HEALTH INFORMATION) and is collected from individuals who have subscribed (MEMBERS) to DAYBREAK. In particular, MEMBERS should be aware that some of their information is stored and processed on servers located in Australia and some is stored and processed in the United States of America, which may be outside their country of residence. MEMBERS are therefore required to give express consent to the transfer, processing and storage of their data in Australia and the United States of America. If a MEMBER chooses not to consent to the transfer of data they will not be able to access the services provided under the DAYBREAK and will not be able to complete registration.
If you have contact with HSM for reasons, other than as a subscriber to DAYBREAK and you wish to know how HSM handles your Personal Information, please see the privacy policy at https://hellosundaymorning.org/privacy-policy/.
This Privacy Policy complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘the Privacy Act’) and has been developed in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act.
Important definitions which apply to this policy:
“Personal Information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.
“Health information” is (a) Personal Information or an opinion about: (i) the health or a disability (at any time) of an individual; or (ii) an individual’s expressed wishes about the future provision of health services to him or her; or any other Personal Information about you when a Health Service Provider collects it.
“A Health Service Provider” is an organisation that provides a health service and holds Health Information is covered by the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act), even if they’re a small business or providing a health service is not their primary activity.
“Sensitive Information” is any Health or genetic information, information or opinion about an identified Member’s racial or ethnic origin; political opinions; membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, trade union, professional or trade association membership; sexual preferences or practices or criminal record.
HSM respects MEMBERS’ right to privacy and is committed to safeguarding MEMBERS’ privacy when engaging with DAYBREAK.
HSM’S PRIVACY OFFICER may be contacted by emailing privacy@hellosundaymorning.org
2. ANONYMITY
When a MEMBER registers a profile with HSM through DAYBREAK, they will be required to provide HSM with their email address for administrative/registration purposes. MEMBERS are also encouraged to use a nickname (MEMBER NAME), not their real name for their profile and participation in the COMMUNITY FEED and to not disclose this name to others in order to retain anonymity. Retention of anonymity means that certain information provided by a MEMBER does not become identifiable, so it is important that MEMBERS adhere to this rule.
3. WHAT IS DAYBREAK?
DAYBREAK is a mobile app developed by HSM to provide a platform whereby MEMBERS can anonymously engage with each other online via written posts to discuss changing their relationship with alcohol. All MEMBERS can view the posts. Posts are moderated by HSM’s MODERATORS as set out in COMMUNITY RULES.
In addition, to providing a discussion feed for MEMBERS (COMMUNITY FEED), DAYBREAK includes features whereby Members can choose to undertake behavioural experiments (EXPERIMENTS).
In order to become a MEMBER, individuals must be at least 18 years old.
DAYBREAK is NOT a crisis service and is NOT monitored in real time, 24 hours/ 7 days per week. In a crisis situation, MEMBERS should not rely on posting their concerns in DAYBREAK but should immediately contact emergency services in their country as every minute counts.
4. TYPES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED
A) Anonymous Community Feed
DAYBREAK has a COMMUNITY FEED for MEMBERS to exchange information with each other anonymously. Anonymity facilitates MEMBERS to openly share their concerns and to support each other without being identified and enables HSM to minimise the amount of identifiable information collected about MEMBERS.
MEMBERS are therefore encouraged to use a nickname or pseudonym in their interactions in DAYBREAK (MEMBER NAME) in the COMMUNITY FEED and to respect other MEMBERS right to stay anonymous by not using the COMMUNITY FEED to break anonymity (see the COMMUNITY GUIDELINES for further information).
MEMBERS are not able to identify MEMBERS’ registered identity and other Personal Information from the MEMBER NAME. However, HSM does retain the link between the MEMBER NAME and MEMBERS’ registered identity in the event that the MODERATOR reasonably determines that they should contact the MEMBER to provide emergency assistance information or apply COMMUNITY GUIDELINES. This information may also be made available to HSM’s technical and customer support and the Privacy Officer in order to respond to MEMBER enquiries.
HSM does not require MEMBERS to provide identifiable HEALTH or other SENSITIVE INFORMATION in DAYBREAK. Any such PERSONAL, HEALTH or SENSITIVE INFORMATION posted by MEMBERS in the COMMUNITY FEED or provided to MODERATORS is done voluntarily and at MEMBERS’ own risk of exposure of their identity and that information.
To ensure that we comply with Australian Privacy laws and Australian laws regarding the retention of HEALTH INFORMATION, we categorise MEMBERS information as follows:
a. Any identifiable information is PERSONAL INFORMATION and treated as such in compliance with Australian Privacy Laws;
b. Any identifiable information that includes HEALTH INFORMATION is treated as such in compliance with Australian Privacy Laws and Australian laws relating to the retention of HEALTH INFORMATION;
c. Any information that is provided on an anonymous basis and a health crisis is identified requiring matching of the registered identity by HSM with the MEMBER NAME in order to intervene, becomes HEALTH INFORMATION and will be treated in accordance with Australian Privacy Laws and Australian laws relating to retention of HEALTH INFORMATION;
d. Any information that is provided by a MEMBER on an anonymous basis into the COMMUNITY FEED, to a MODERATOR and is also a breach of COMMUNITY GUIDELINES which requires matching of the registered identity of the MEMBER by HSM with the MEMBER NAME in order to intervene, potentially becomes PERSONAL and/or HEALTH INFORMATION and will be treated in accordance with Australian Privacy Laws.
B) Registration Information
Registration information collected by HSM from MEMBERS includes:
The following mandatory registration information:
- Agreement to this Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines and Terms & Conditions of Use of DAYBREAK
- Nickname/Pseudonym;
- Email address,
- Gender,
- Year of Birth,
- Location (including postcode and country),

- MEMBERS’ short-term and long-term goals.
The following optional registration information:
- Identity of private health insurance utilised (if any).
- Ethnicity,
- Nature of the MEMBERS immediate social circumstances (eg living with themselves, partner, children, housemate, parents).
From time to time, HSM will post requests for further information from MEMBERS for research and quality assurance purposes. See RESEARCH section.
Cookies, our website and your privacy
So, we can understand your usage and browsing history of DAYBREAK, third party providers to HSM collect this information via cookies. We use this information to assess the effectiveness of DAYBREAK and to improve its quality assurance, functionality and appeal. DAYBREAK also collects technical data such as country from which contact is being made. Cookies do not reveal Personal Information, such as your name, address, phone number or address. Members can adjust their browser to disable cookies, but this may restrict the Members access to, and ability to use all aspects of DAYBREAK.

HSM may from time to time distribute surveys through DAYBREAK or to MEMBERS’ email addresses seeking feedback to improve MEMBERS’ experience of DAYBREAK or for marketing purposes to promote DAYBREAK. In addition, HSM may engage in health research and seek the participation of MEMBERS.
MEMBERS invited to be involved in such marketing and/or research can provide consent (opt in) or deny consent (opt out) at the time such invitations occur. Opting out of marketing or research will not impact on MEMBERS ability to continue to participate in use of DAYBREAK.
For any enquiries about marketing, please contact marketing@hellosundaymorning.org.
6. WHEN DOES HSM DISCLOSE MEMBERS PERSONAL INFORMATION TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE ORGANISATION?
We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties.

ii. if a MEMBER has given permission for us to do so;
iii. to obtain funding or prospective funding for HSM to perform its services;
iv. to configure the DAYBREAK’s services to meet MEMBERS or a MEMBER’S wishes and needs;

7. STORAGE AND SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
All conversations in the COMMUNITY FEED and MODERATOR MESSAGES are electronically stored at the time of posting.
HSM will use all reasonable endeavours and appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to maintain the security of Personal Information (including Health Information) it collects against unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and to make DAYBREAK as secure as possible against unauthorised access of MEMBERS’ personal information. Data transmissions over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be fully and absolutely secure. DAYBREAK has security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
Security measures include the encryption of COMMUNITY FEED posts, MODERATION MESSAGES and other self-reported data during transmission and at rest. HSM uses standard Secure Socket Layer encryption that encodes these posts and transcripts during transmission. All posts and transcripts are maintained on secure services for a period of time, as defined by relevant laws.
