Better Internet for Kids

Our Safer Internet Day 2026 activities focus on empowering Australians to create safer online spaces. Key initiatives include resources for the workplace and educators. 

For Safer Internet Day 2026, we’re calling on Australians to help make the internet a safer, more positive place.

Our campaign highlights five simple actions everyone can take:

1. Be kind
   Show empathy, respect and kindness in every online interaction.
2. Balance time online
   Make space for offline connection, rest and reflection.
3. Speak up
   Report online abuse and harmful content to eSafety
4. Protect your space
   Use privacy settings, strong passwords or parental controls to keep your online space safe.
5. Start the conversation
   Talk about online safety with your networks - family, friends, colleagues, and communities.

We’ve developed a Safer Internet Day hub with resources for workplaces, schools and tertiary institutions to support these actions.

We're encouraging supporters to share content on social media, use the campaign assets to promote online safety messages at work and school, and consider how simple actions can create safer online spaces.
