The Social Media Delay: What It Means for Parents and Schools

From 10 December 2025, many social media platforms won’t be allowed to let Australians under 16 create or keep an account. CCSP asked Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, Child and Adolescent Psychologist, to create this 30-minute webinar-type video for our families and schools to help everyone prepare for the Social Media Ban (Delay). 

This is a must-watch video for parents and carers: take time out for half an hour to find out how the social media ‘delay’ will work, why it’s happening, how it will impact families and how it will affect schools.

Also go to the Social Media Age Restrictions Hub on the eSafety Commissioner website for resources for educators and parents and to find out which platforms will be age-restricted: https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions-hub
