Social media minimum age FAQs
These translated fact sheets explain the new social media age restrictions designed to keep Australians under 16 safer online. They outline why the restrictions have been introduced, which platforms will be affected, and what social media companies must do to comply with the law. The fact sheets also cover penalties for non-compliance and answer common questions about the social media ‘ban’ or delay, helping families understand what the changes mean in practice.
