Informing policy by providing evidence-based advice

The Digital Child comprises almost 200 researchers across six Australian universities, 14 international universities, and over 20 partners including The Smith Family, Early Childhood Australia, the Office of the e-Safety Commissioner, and Google.

We deliver evidence-based research on the impacts of digital technologies on children’s development, learning, and well-being. We aim to enhance public understanding, inform policy, and provide guidance for families, educators, and technology creators with the goal of supporting children to be confident growing up in a rapidly changing digital world.
