Australia's social media age restrictions are fast approaching, set to take effect on 10 December 2025 — and many families are feeling confused about what it means, what’s included, and how to help young people prepare.
In this timely and empowering conversation, psychologist and digital wellbeing expert Jocelyn Brewer unpacks the realities behind the ban and offers a collaborative, non-judgemental approach to guide families through this significant shift in their digital lives.
