Social Media Delay | Free Webinar from the CyberSafety Project
We know the new social media age restrictions coming into effect on 10 December 2025 have left many families feeling confused and unsure.
That’s why we’re excited to invite parents, guardians and children under 16 to a fun, family-friendly workshop hosted by Cyber Safety Project — a trusted eSafety provider and leading online safety educator.
Wednesday 19 November | 7pm - 7.45pm AEDT
