Preparing for social media changes

From 10 December 2025, some social media platforms must prevent Australians under 16 from creating or keeping accounts.

eSafety has updated its guidance on which platforms are likely to be age-restricted. These include Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube.

Platforms we consider do not currently meet the criteria for ‘age-restricted social media platform’ and are therefore not age-restricted include Discord, GitHub, Google Classroom, LEGO Play, Messenger, Roblox, Steam, WhatsApp, and YouTube Kids.

Technology changes quickly, so this list isn’t fixed. We’ll keep sharing updates on our website.

To help young people, families and educators prepare, eSafety has released a package of resources on a dedicated online hub and will run live webinars to provide information and answer questions.
