"The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, has welcomed an Australian Communication and Media Authority (ACMA) cyber-smart initiative to teach children how to be responsible cyber-citizens.
“Raising awareness of online safety is critical in ensuring children enjoy safe and positive internet experiences, and know how to protect themselves from risks,” Senator Conroy said.
“Cybersmart Detectives is an exciting, interactive online activity where children work online in real-time to solve an internet-themed problem. ACMA will be providing the program free-of-charge to schools.”
The Australian Government has committed $125.8 million to a comprehensive range of cyber-safety measures, including law enforcement, filtering and education, over the next four years."
