Social media changes are coming

From 10 December 2025, certain social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 create or keep an account. Under-16s will still be able to see publicly available social media content that doesn’t require logging into an account.

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, Snapchat, TikTok, X and YouTube meet many of the conditions the legislation uses to define an ‘age-restricted social media platform’.  
  • 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 sector policies and procedures.
