Children’s Week is happening across Australia from 21 to 29 October 2023. It’s an opportunity to recognise that all children have the right to relax, play, and participate in activities they enjoy.

Celebrate Children’s Week by saying YES to safe online play. When you join in children’s online play, it supports family wellbeing and results in better outcomes for children now and in the future.  

Want some resources to help bring play to online safety conversations? Here’s where you can start: 

• Read – Online safety picture book and song.  
• Do – Story puzzles with Swoosh and Glide.
• Play – Activities to introduce basic online safety concepts.

Encourage your child to share their online experiences with you.
