Social media age restrictions webinars
From 10 December 2025, certain social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australian children under 16 create or keep an account.
The eSafety Commissioner is offering information sessions for parents and carers; educators and youth-serving professionals to understand the changes, their purpose and implications.
