Cyber safety

New apps are frequently being launched. It can be challenging for parents and carers to keep up to date with the latest apps that their children or their friends may be looking at.

The eSafety Commissioner has developed a website to help Australians have a positive and safe experience online. The government website provides a description of the latest apps to assist you in deciding if the apps are appropriate for use by your family.

The website has many useful age appropriate resources to assist parents and carers to start a conversation with your child about cyber safety.
