Social Media Ban Parent Webinars
Social media changes are coming
From 10 December 2025, certain social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australian children under 16 create or keep an account.
What you need to know:
The age restrictions are likely to apply to Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, X and YouTube, among other platforms.
Most online gaming and standalone messaging apps are among the types of services that will not be included.
Children under 16 will still be able to see publicly available social media content that doesn’t require logging into an account.
Find out more at eSafety’s social media age restrictions hub. If you can't join our free webinar, we're also developing video guides for parents and carers about the upcoming social media changes for under 16s.
