Non-government organisations have a lot of very good ideas about how to better protect kids online, which is why we will have in this budget $10 million in a new online safety grants program available to not-for-profit, NGO and community organisations. This will include support for educators, parents, community and front-line support groups. Projects could include the development of educational resources, the translation of existing materials and the development of a new app. There is no one single solution or protection when it comes to supporting kids online and their safety. It's a whole-of-government and a whole-of-community effort, and this will provide new avenues for us to better protect our kids.
