Why you might love this opp:
The eSafety Youth Council is a group of young people aged 13 to 24 who help guide eSafety’s work by sharing their ideas, experiences and knowledge about online safety. The Council is made up of young people from all over Australia, with different lived experiences, cultures and gender identities.
eSafety is committed to genuinely listening to the Council and making sure their insights shape our policies, programs and resources.
We’re looking for young people aged 13 to 24 from across Australia to share what you’re seeing online and help shape online safety education, resources and advice. You don’t need a perfect resume or a big following. If you’ve got lived experience and ideas, or you’re curious and keen to contribute, we want to hear from you.

- share your thoughts and experiences to help eSafety and the Government better support young people online
- connect with other passionate young people from around the country
- take part in group discussions, workshops and creative projects
- help shape and review eSafety’s content, campaigns and resources
- build your skills in leadership, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving.

Travel for in-person meetings will be facilitated by eSafety.
