The new standard in online safety for educators.

In a world overwhelmed by digital noise, one coalition has cut through the chaos. For the first time ever, the most respected names in Australian online safety, spanning media, psychology, education, and parenting, have joined forces.

Delivering change

Each team member brings decades of lived, researched, and real-world expertise. They’ve witnessed firsthand the cost of digital harm on children, classrooms, and companies.  They’re here to act, with clarity, empathy, and authority.

This isn't a panel. It's your front line.

Online Harm Has Evolved. So Have We.
