Online harms and the evolving role of the eSafety Commissioner

The Australian Government has indicated that 2024 will see further reform in relation to online safety, including through proposed amendments to the Basic Online Safety Expectations under the Online Safety Act 2021.  At this event, we will hear from Julie Inman Grant, the eSafety Commissioner, on her views on the future online safety regulatory landscape and what has been achieved since the Online Safety Act took effect.  Our panellists will consider developments in the UK and debate how best to address key online safety issues from a regulatory perspective.
