Victorian police who used their work email addresses to access online dating site Ashley Madison won't face disciplinary action.

A police spokeswoman says the organisation is aware a small number of email addresses of those who used the site have been posted online.

"Employees are advised to demonstrate due care when considering the information they place on such sites to reduce the risk of such information being accessed by an unintended audience and/or for unintended purposes," Victoria Police said in a statement on Thursday.

"There is no evidence at this stage to suggest there has been any disciplinary breaches."
