Social-Media Ban

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 create or have an account. The changes aim to protect under-16s from pressures and risks they can be exposed to while logged in to social media accounts. 

A number of platforms, including educational tools such as Google Classroom, will not be age restricted. You’ll find answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs), tools to help you work through it together, and links to helpful resources you can explore eSafety Commissioner Website.
