What is Safer Internet Day?

Safer Internet Day is a global day of action bringing communities, schools, organisations and families from 180 countries together to raise awareness of online safety issues and work towards a safer internet.

eSafety leads the day in Australia.

Why is Safer Internet Day important?

The internet connects us more than ever – it’s where we learn, work, socialise and share our lives. But that also means online risks are part of everyday life.

Safer Internet Day is an opportunity to take a moment to talk about what’s really happening online, and think about what we can each do to make it better. Because when we each do something small – whether that’s starting a conversation, sharing a tip or changing a habit – we make a big difference to everyone’s online experience.
