New Social Media Age Rules Coming in 2025
From 10 December 2025, new rules will come into effect across Australia to help keep children safe online. Under these new laws, social media companies will need to take steps to stop children under 16 from creating social media accounts on certain platforms.
The eSafety Commissioner has released an updated list of which services will be affected.
Platforms that will be age-restricted (16+)
These platforms will need to make sure children under 16 cannot create accounts:
- Kick
- Snapchat
- Threads
- TikTok
- X (formerly Twitter)
- YouTube
Platforms that are not age-restricted
These platforms don’t currently fall under the new rules:
- Discord
- GitHub
- Google Classroom
- LEGO Play
- Messenger
- Roblox
- Steam and Steam Chat
YouTube Kids
Social media companies that don’t follow the new age rules could face serious penalties.
While these changes are a positive step toward safer online spaces, it’s important to remember that no platform is completely risk-free. Children can still come across harmful content or behaviour online, including cyberbullying or inappropriate material. As a school we don't encourage any unmonitored screen time.
Families are encouraged to stay informed and talk regularly with their children about online safety.You can find helpful, up-to-date advice about apps, games and social media on the eSafety Guide.

Carpark Safety: Ongoing Reminder
Driveway and Parking Reminders
Just a friendly reminder that Resurrection School and Parish has three driveways. For safety and traffic flow:
- Entry 1 and Entry 2 may be used between 9:00am – 3:00pm and after 4:00pm.
- Entry 3 is not to be used at any time.
- Please note: Entry 1 and Entry 2 are not to be used for school drop-off or pick-up.
Using the incorrect driveway or carpark is creating a safety risk for our students and must not continue.
The safest place to park is in the designated area next to the oval off Loxwood Avenue.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community safe.
Child Friendly Version of Child Safe Policy and Code of Conduct
This term we will be working with our student leaders and guiding them through our Child Safe Policy. We make sure children and young people are empowered about their rights, participate in decisions affecting them and are taken seriously in all child safety matters.
