Safer Internet Day, raising awareness for a better internet for all, especially children and young people. 

• Safer Internet Day is a global initiative to raise awareness of online safety issues, a time for everyone to come “together for a better internet”. This can be encouraged through industry and policy actions, press conferences, school assemblies and new educational resources  
• In 2023, Safer Internet Day was celebrated in over 180 countries and territories worldwide. 

Three steps to approach online safety according to the eSafety Commissioner: 

Connect safely by keeping apps and devices secure and reviewing your privacy settings regularly.  

Reflect on how your actions online may affect others or your safety.  

Protect yourself and others by visiting eSafety.gov.au to find out how to stay safe online and report online abuse. 

In support of Safer Internet Day, the eSafety Commissioner will host a webinar exclusively for ACA Members. The webinar titled ‘Online Gaming, helping children and families get the most out of gaming’, will look at the current research and resources to support counsellors and is eligible for five OPD points.
