Description:
At eSafety, we are pioneers in online safety regulation, leading global efforts to combat digital harms and foster safer, more positive online experiences for all Australians.
Our mission is bold and far-reaching.
eSafety's Children, Youth and Families (CYF) Team develops and delivers online safety initiatives and engagement strategies for children, young people and families. The team develops and updates web-based resources and advice, ensuring that current and new advice considers emerging areas of need. It also incorporates consultation and evidence on how best to engage with target audiences.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the development and implementation of a comprehensive Parent strategy, focusing on stakeholder engagement, education and prevention to empower parents and carers to support children and young people with awareness of online safety issues, preventing risks and dealing with harms. This will require working closely with the Children, Youth and Families (CYF) team, across the Education, Prevention and Inclusion (EPI) Branch and eSafety more broadly.
