Community Guidelines

The Bloom Promise

Bloom is built for LGBTQ+ adults who want respectful connection — romance, friendship, or community. These guidelines sit alongside our Terms of Service. Breaking them can lead to warnings, limits, or a permanent ban.

Respect the silos

Honour the space you are in and other people’s boundaries — whether you are here for dating, friendship, or something else you both agree on.

Kindness is mandatory

Zero tolerance for harassment, hate, threats, stalking, or sustained bad-faith behaviour. Treat others with the respect you expect.

Be authentic

Use real photos of yourself, be honest about what you are looking for, and do not impersonate others. Catfishing and fake profiles are not allowed.

18+ only

Everyone on Bloom must be 18 or older. Report suspected underage accounts immediately. We may require identity or age verification.

Not allowed

• Harassment, hate speech, or discrimination
• Sexual content involving minors (zero tolerance — report and ban)
• Scams, phishing, or requests for money under false pretences
• Spam, commercial solicitation outside approved business listings
• Doxxing, non-consensual intimate imagery, or serious threats
• Illegal activity or content that violates Australian law

How to report

Use in-app report flows (for example Mixer, Messages, or profile safety options) so our team gets the right context. You can also email hello@bloomapp.com.au with links/screenshots and the other person’s display name if you can.

We may review relevant messages when investigating a report. See our Privacy Policy.

Trust & safety for partners

Bloom is an Australian LGBTQ+ dating and social product for adults. Memberships (Plus / Premium) are optional subscriptions. We operate reporting, moderation, and (where enabled) third-party identity checks to reduce fraud and protect users. Contact: Contact page.
