NEW SURVEY on the under-16s Social Media Ban 📱

Five months on from the government banning anyone under 16 from accessing social media, what’s actually changed for young people?

Our friends at CYDA want to find out with their new national survey for:

🔶 Children with disability under 16
🔶 Young people with disability aged 16 to 25
🔶 Parents, family members, and caregivers of under-16s

Has the new law made you feel safer online? Are you finding it harder to connect with mates? Have you encountered any accessibility issues? Or are things mostly the same?

These are questions not enough people are asking, but the answers matter.

🔗 Take CYDA’s survey today: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MN5RL8T

(…or share it with someone you know.)

Your voice can help make sure the law meets the needs of children and young people with disability all across Australia.

Collie, this is your last chance for 2026.

Tomorrow is our final Advocacy WA Roadshow in Collie for the year, and we would love to see you there.

We will be Collie Family Centre!

With so many changes happening across the NDIS system, it has never been more important to understand your rights, know what good support should look like, and feel confident speaking up when your needs are not being met.

Self advocacy is not something you either have or do not have. It is a skill, and it is a skill everyone can learn.

Come along and learn practical ways to:

Understand your rights
Ask questions with confidence
Speak up when something does not feel right
Have stronger conversations about your needs
Know where to go for support

Everyone is welcome. You do not need to have all the answers. You do not even need to know where to start. Bring your questions, bring your curiosity, or just come along and listen.

We are here to support you.

See you tomorrow, Collie.
