A July 2025 ministerial submission to the Minister for Communications recommended setting 10 December 2025 as the commencement date for the Social Media Minimum Age obligation under the Social Media Age Restrictions Act. The submission advised that specifying this date via notifiable instrument would provide industry certainty and allow implementation of the legislative framework as previously announced. The recommendation noted that the commencement date is subject to a deferred commencement provision allowing the Minister discretion to set the effective date, and that notifiable instruments are not subject to Parliamentary disallowance. A draft instrument was attached for ministerial signature to formally establish the commencement date.
