News edition for 4 September 2026. Added to Nungya on 22 October 2026 as part of our retrospective news archive. Reporting reflects information available by the edition date.

Staying connected online can mean sharing culture, keeping in touch with family or finding opportunities. Feeling confident in those spaces is part of being able to participate.

An Indigenous.gov.au update on 4 September highlights free resources from the eSafety Commissioner developed in partnership with First Nations people. They use stories, activities and yarning to support conversations about online safety.

The materials include resources in First Nations languages, information about protecting devices and avoiding scams, and guidance on responding to online abuse. Children’s and young people’s resources include factsheets, posters and yarning cards.

Community organisations can also explore free presentations and training, with learning programs available for workers supporting people who experience online harm.

The emphasis on conversation is useful. A family or community group can start with a shared resource and discuss the online experiences that are most relevant to its members, rather than assuming everyone has the same questions.

The official update recognises both the opportunities online connection creates and the harm that can occur through racism, scams or abuse. Its linked First Nations resource hub is a practical place to find material for different ages and settings.
