Episode Details

Online safety has become a mainstream business issue. As digital platforms and connected services play a larger role in everyday life, regulatory expectations around safety, trust and accountability continue to develop and have significant implications for an ever-expanding range of digital businesses.

In this session, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant talks about the next phase of online safety regulation and what it means for organisations operating in a more highly scrutinised digital environment. The discussion will touch on Australia’s world-first minimum age requirements for social media platforms, the implementation of new online safety codes, the government’s commitment to legislate for a broad digital duty of care, safety risks associated with emerging technologies, and the growing importance of social license in online operations. Gain a clear understanding of relevant regulatory priorities in this area and how to design online safety compliance systems in a way that is likely to align with regulatory expectations.
