Mighty Heroes posters

• Wanda the echidna: I am responsible – I protect my personal information.
• River the sugar glider: I show respect – I am kind and caring to others.
• Dusty the frilled neck lizard: I trust my feelings – I ask for help when something doesn’t feel right.

Digital signage for secondary schools

These eSafety messages address some of the key online safety information needs of secondary school students, based on eSafety's 2021 research, The digital lives of Aussie teens:

• Do you have a friend being bullied online?
• Ever Googled yourself?
• If someone is bullying you online.
• It's not always OK to send nudes.
• An online friend might be fishy.
• Trolling.
• Don't share your passcodes.

Social media changes

As of 10 December 2025, many social media platforms are not allowed to let Australians under 16 have an account. Under-16s are able to see publicly available social media content that doesn’t require logging into an account. (The changes may affect the resources on this page which are being updated.)

What you need to know:

• Educators need to be aware that age restrictions may apply to platforms they currently use for educational purposes and to communicate with their school community.
• Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube are required to take reasonable steps to prevent Australians under 16 from having accounts on their platforms. See the latest list.
• Find out more about the exclusions for educational tools such as learning management systems.
• Schools may need to explore alternative methods for communicating with parents and students.

For further guidance, including if educators will be able to use their own accounts to share age-appropriate education materials, please refer to school or education sector policies and procedures.
