New Social Media Laws for under 16s

Many parents would be aware of changes being implemented by the Australian government in response to growing global concerns about online harm on major social media platforms. By the end of this year, these platforms will need to have age-verification measures to restrict access for users under 16 from accessing these platforms.

Without preparation, teens risk losing access access to connections, content, or communities they love, with little notice.  

Please see the following two documents with further information.
