eSmart

eSmart is an easy-to-use, evidence-based and tested system, providing a framework approach to helping Australian schools manage cybersafety and deal with cyberbullying and bullying.

In 2010, eSmart was piloted in 159 schools across Australia with funding from the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). The Edith Cowan University's Child Health Promotion Research Centre independently evaluated the pilot, finding 96 per cent of pilot schools would recommend eSmart to other schools. Participating schools reported that eSmart prompted cybersafety action they would otherwise not have undertaken.

The Alannah and Madeline Foundation updated the system based on feedback from the pilot. eSmart is now available to all schools across Australia.

The Victorian and Queensland Governments have partnered with the Foundation to make eSmart available to all their state government schools for free, and in Victoria, some independent and catholic schools that are classified as disadvantaged.

eSmart is available to all other Australian schools for $3,500 (+GST) per school (per campus) over four years. This can be paid in four annual instalments of $875 (+GST).

The Foundation is calling for registrations. To register your school, visit the eSmart website or for more information call 1300 592 151 or email esmart@amf.org.au
