About the ACMA
CyberNetrix is an internet safety resource for secondary school students provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). In its role as the regulator of broadcasting, the internet, radiocommunications and telecommunications, ACMA manages a national cybersafety program which includes:
- undertaking targeted information and awareness-raising campaigns, activities and programs
- developing cybersafety education materials for use in schools and at home
- researching current trends in cybersafety.
The ACMA's cybersafety activities aim to give children, and their parents and carers, sound advice on how best to manage online risks, so their experiences are safe and positive. Teachers are advised to review this resource to ensure it is suitable for, and relevant to, their students.
The ACMA has a number of educational resources for use in schools and at home. For more information, visit www.cybersmart.gov.au or telephone the Cybersafety Contact Centre on 1800 880 176.
