Prepare for Australia's 'teen social media ban' with this FREE webinar designed by psychologist and digital wellbeing educator, Jocelyn Brewer

From December 10, 2025, Australia’s new under-16 social media ban comes into effect — and most families are unprepared for the changes this will bring.

To support school communities, I am offering a free one-hour webinar designed for parents and educators of young people under 16 who are currently using social media platforms.

 LOGGED OUT: Navigating Australia’s Teen Social Media Ban takes a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to this transition.

Rather than treating the ban as a quick fix, the session helps families:

• Understand why the ban has been introduced and what platforms are included/exempt.

• Explore privacy issues and age verification technology.

• Plan with their teens how to back up digital memories, audit current use, and manage alternatives.

• Anticipate unintended consequences, such as circumvention, isolation, or reliance on riskier platforms.

• Build family technology agreements and digital resilience that extend beyond social media.

 Key details:

• When: Thursday November 6th at 730pm AEDT/Sydney time

• Who for: Parents/carers & educators of under-16s

• Format: 1 hour, FREE, live online (not recorded)

• Approach: Collaborative, participatory, non-judgmental

• Registration: HERE

This is especially relevant for families who want to work with their young people — not those seeking a blanket ban as a replacement for collaborative agreements.
