Digital Child
Queensland University of Technology, Other Australian Universities
The ARC Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child is shaping an environment with children, families, and communities so they can navigate their own digital worlds.
We know that children’s lived experiences are rapidly changing, and that every childhood is now fundamentally digital. Our mission is to create positive digital childhoods for every child in Australia.
We do this by focusing on:
- Healthy digital lives, understanding how digital technology intersects children’s lived experiences and providing guidance to families, educators, and policymakers as they navigate this space.
- Educational empowerment, equipping children with the skills they need to live their best digital lives.
- Safe digital spaces, making online engagement safer while promoting healthy digital relationships.
