Tuesday, 11 February 2025, is Global Safer Internet Day—a day of action dedicated to making the internet a safer and more positive place for everyone. This important initiative, led by the eSafety Commissioner in Australia, brings together communities, schools, and organisations to promote online safety and digital well-being.
At Cybermate, we’re passionate about equipping young people with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the digital world safely. Safer Internet Day is the perfect opportunity to highlight the importance of online safety and to take meaningful steps toward creating a secure and supportive online environment for all.

As the digital age continues to evolve, so do the challenges and risks associated with online activity. From cyberbullying and online scams to data privacy concerns, the internet presents a myriad of potential hazards. Safer Internet Day aims to address these issues by raising awareness, promoting education, and encouraging positive online behaviour.
