01 December 2025 - A message from QLife on the Social Media ban for under 16s.
Social media has long played a pivotal role in the lives of young people by providing connection, creativity, entertainment, and mental health support. For many LGBTIQ+SB young people, online platforms have also been one of the few accessible spaces to find community and express identity, particularly in regional and rural areas where isolation and limited local services can heighten vulnerability.
With upcoming changes to platform access, this shift may feel significant for many young people. QLife has created an information sheet exploring alternatives for staying connected and highlighting ways to support LGBTIQA+SB young people through this transition.

Things to know when contacting QLife
While we aim to respond to calls as quickly as possible, sometimes the service is in very high demand and we may not be able to get to everyone. We understand that it can be disappointing not to be connected to a peer, and encourage you to try us again a little later if this happens. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering as a QLife peer supporter, click here.
If you have any feedback, please speak with your peer, or complete the user feedback survey here. We appreciate that with all changes there may be things that don’t go quite right. We will work quickly to resolve any issues that are identified.
