Social media

Parents may be concerned that social media is teaching their children that they’re not good enough because of the impossible standards which are set.

Gaming

The Beacon Project team have partnered with the world's best - eSafety Commissioner and Common Sense Media - to ensure that the Beacon cyber safety app is able to provide reviews on some of the most popular apps and games to keep you up-to-date and on top of the trends in Australia.

Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is when an individual or a group repeatedly uses Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to intentionally fear, distress, or harm to another person, who finds it hard to stop it from happening.

For professionals

The Health Promotion and Education Research Program, led by Head Professor Donna Cross, combines over 14+ years of cyber safety research, involving over 30 projects investigating young people’s online behaviours, totalling over $5 million in funding since 2007.
