Social media age restrictions

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won't be allowed to let Australians aged under 16 create or keep an account.  

The information on the link below will help you understand why, and how you can help your under-16 through the change.  You will find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), tools to help you work through it together, and links to helpful resources you can explore.
