The service checks whether your business and dispute qualify. Assistance does not guarantee a platform response or restored access.
What to do
Keep your platform requests and explain the effect on your business.
Check the service’s requirements and prepare the business documents it requests.
Keep the submission confirmation and reference number. If asked for more information, reply within the same case.
For Australian small and family businesses. First try resolving the issue with the platform. ASBFEO’s form has separate dispute-details and prior-attempts fields, up to 1,000 characters each. Prepare business details and disclose other proceedings; ASBFEO does not duplicate another agency’s active assistance.
NSW small-business assistance with unresolved digital-platform commercial disputes, including access, payments and procedures. The Commissioner assesses whether it can help.
Suitability is assessed case by case; not every platform problem is accepted. No power to order Meta to restore an account through this voluntary general-business mediation route. Does not guarantee account recovery or compensation. This is an NSW business service, not Australia-wide personal-account assistance. No standing Meta agreement to mediate was verified.
What to do
Document the business connection, problem and previous platform escalation.
Use the digital-platform assistance page or speak to the Commission about suitability.
Submit the business mediation application with both parties and key documents.
Work with the assigned officer; proceed to paid mediation only after arrangements are agreed.
Review any proposed binding settlement before signing; keep the outcome and next-step advice.
A genuine NSW small-business commercial dispute is required; a business account alone does not establish eligibility. Try platform support or contractual escalation first. The Commission screens suitability, and general commercial mediation needs the other party’s participation.
A review does not guarantee reversal. Do not duplicate a submission while the same case is still awaiting a response.
What to do
Open Meta’s final post decision and find the reference ID. Without it, this route is unavailable.
Choose Submit an Appeal on the Board’s site, sign in to your active account and submit within Meta’s stated deadline.
Check Track Your Appeal. Submitting does not mean the Board will select the case.
For eligible content decisions only: requires an active account, Meta’s final decision and a Meta-issued reference ID. The Board selects a limited number of cases. If the account is disabled and you cannot log in, this route does not fit.

Preliminary assistance and voluntary mediation for qualifying Victorian commercial disputes. A platform-contract or business-payment dispute is a possible application of general scope, not a verified Meta-specific service.
Subject to jurisdiction and suitability screening. Gig-worker app deactivation disputes are explicitly directed to the Fair Work Commission, not VSBC. Does not guarantee account recovery or compensation; do not present this as a personal social-account appeal. At least one party must be in Victoria; overseas-counterparty suitability and consent require confirmation.
What to do
Check the Victorian business connection and try the other business first.
Apply through the official help portal with the dispute and requested outcome.
Participate in free preliminary discussions with the assigned officer.
If offered and both parties participate, pay the quoted mediation fees and attend.
Review and sign an acceptable settlement, or ask about the applicable next step if unresolved.
A qualifying business-to-business dispute with at least one party in Victoria is required; private consumer complaints are excluded. Try direct resolution first. Confirm suitability for an overseas respondent; the application requests an ABN. General commercial mediation is voluntary.
This route concerns data rights. Being unable to log in does not by itself prove a breach: this is not an account-recovery service. Investigations and remedies depend on local law.
What to do
Describe the specific data issue. For access requests, first ask Meta for the data and keep a copy of your request.
Check local deadlines and requirements. Attach your request and reply, and explain which data rights were affected.
Keep the submission confirmation and reference number. If asked for more information, reply within the same case.
Complain to the organisation about a specific personal-data issue first. If it does not respond within 30 days or its response is unsatisfactory, complain to OAIC in writing through its form, email or post. Check jurisdiction; this does not replace an account appeal.
Check the service’s scope and any fees. Advice does not itself require Meta to restore an account.
What to do
The authority appears in an official directory. We have not fully reviewed its local form or submission requirements. Use this link to find the authority; we have not confirmed that you can submit a complaint through it.
Find the complaints section or contact details. Check whether the body handles your issue and which documents it needs. This link is not a confirmed submission form.
Choose your state or territory, then the local Consumer Affairs or Fair Trading complaint form. The agency may explain rights and help negotiate. Check jurisdiction over the foreign company. ACCC itself does not resolve individual complaints.

Help limit intimate-image sharing
The service helps limit sharing on partner platforms. It cannot remove everything from the internet or restore an account.
What to do
Check your age when the image was made and the service’s conditions.
On the official site, use only material already on your device. You do not need to send the file itself.
Keep the case details and follow the instructions for checking progress.
For intimate images of you taken at 18+, including threatened sharing. You need the file on your device. It stays there; a digital fingerprint is shared. Coverage is limited to participating public-facing platforms, not the whole internet or encrypted messages. Keep your case number and PIN.

For an actively trading Australian business with a valid ABN and no more than 19 full-time-equivalent staff, excluding the owner. Free cyber-incident and security support. Recovery is not guaranteed; ordinary deactivation disputes belong with ASBFEO.
Small claims often concern monetary claims. The court may not have power to order account restoration. Consider fees, costs, deadlines, contract terms and local rules.

Start with your state’s court or tribunal. Before paying, check foreign-defendant jurisdiction, service and available remedies. Not every tribunal can hear the dispute. ACCC’s page is a starting guide, not a national claim form.
South Australia: eligibility, real costs, service, evidence and what a final notice can and cannot achieve.
The 21-day period is not a guaranteed Meta reply or recovery deadline. Rule 332.3(3) expressly does not require a written response to P1. Silence is not an admission, judgment or permission to enforce. A notice does not establish jurisdiction or extend another deadline.
What to do
Decide whether the problem is a platform appeal, a genuine money claim or a request for an account-restoration order.
Check South Australian jurisdiction, the appropriate procedure and the legal respondent before paying for a notice.
Prepare evidence and a realistic budget; compare P1 with a compliant written pre-action notice.
If advised to proceed, use official CourtSA instructions and arrange valid service yourself. Record service and receipt separately from filing.
After the applicable waiting period, assess the reply, settlement options and whether a separately filed action is justified. Do not treat no reply as a win.
A Final Notice P1 is a pre-action notice in South Australia. CourtSA can generate a sealed document, but it does not decide that Meta acted unlawfully, start a lawsuit or order an account restored. Consider this route only after checking the legal basis, South Australian jurisdiction, correct respondent and the remedy you actually need. General information, checked 15 October 2026; obtain advice on your own dispute before filing or serving anything.
Your connection to the country matters, not your account language. Individual bodies have additional requirements.

Check the submission confirmation, your spam folder and the service’s case portal. Look up its stated response time. If that time has passed, ask for an update and include your existing case reference, if you have one.
Your application was not accepted
Read the reason. A case outside the body’s powers, missing documents and a decision against your claim call for different next steps. Correct the stated gaps or follow the appeal instructions in the reply. Check the appeal deadline before submitting again.

Does every country have an account-recovery route?
We have not confirmed that every country has an account-recovery process outside Meta. This directory covers the listed countries, with options for data, payments, harmful content and, where available, account restrictions and court claims. Several links do not mean several ways to restore an account. We state when no suitable option has been found.
The review covers the entries in this directory. It does not establish that every possible route has been found. An accessible page, an applicable procedure and a successful outcome are different things.
How to use this directory
Different bodies handle different issues. A refused data request, a payment dispute and an account appeal involve separate procedures. Choose the one that matches your situation. The body you contact decides whether to accept the case and what action to take.
Each card shows when its sources were researched. No real complaints were submitted.
