18: Online Support: I'm a digital native but sometimes I need help with online stuff. How do I get it?
The internet is a very big place. This means it can be hard to find what you need. For the final episode of this season of Safe Is Savvy, Greg Gebhart, Senior Education Trainer at the office of the eSafety Commissioner joins the podcast to help us hone our critical literacy skills, so we can surf the web in a way that most benefits us.

17: Digital Health: How do I manage medical information online, for myself or someone I care for?
When the old ways of doing things go digital, there is always an adjustment period. Before computers, doctors’ offices and hospitals had whole rooms dedicated to storing paper records. These records were slowly replaced with computers, and now these records are online. Today’s guest, Dr Steve Hambleton, has been a key player in this process: taking our medical records online, whilst keeping them accessible and safe. Dr Steve joins the podcast to discuss the ways in which MyHealthRecord, the government’s online summary of your medical history, can assist medical practitioners, and how to generally best manage your medical information online.

16: Accessibility and Digital Inclusion: How do we make the internet a place for everyone?
The internet is for everyone. But in order for everyone to be able to use the internet, it needs to employ universal design, a concept explored by this episode of Safe Is Savvy’s guest Stephanie Agnew from Get Skilled Access. A sight-impaired internet user, Stephanie joins the podcast to advocate for the simple things we can all do to make the internet more accessible and inclusive. The duty to make the internet more inclusive and accessible doesn’t just rest with web designers.

15: What is an “online footprint” and do I want one?
What crumbs have you left online? In your browsing and your posting, what have you left behind? In this episode of Safe Is Savvy, Jarrad Langdon from Jala Design joins us to discuss online footprints. Specifically, how we can audit our public profiles, and better decide how and when to provide private information. The reality of our information being available online forever is a scary one, but with better behaviours, we can protect ourselves.

14: Cyber-harassment: What can I do if I’m being harassed online?
Bullying and harassment take different forms in the physical world - and the digital space is no exception. In this episode of Safe Is Savvy, Jayde Petrie from Project Rockit joins us to discuss cyber-harassment. How it differs from cyber-bullying, how to spot if it’s happening to us - and what we can do to protect ourselves online. It’s a worthwhile discussion on an increasingly pervasive problem online.

13. Cyber-bullying: How do I know if I’m being cyber-bullied?
Adults and kids can be mean - and nowhere is that more apparent than the digital world. And while it might seem like some comments are better off shrugged off as light-hearted “fun”, there’s no denying that our words or actions online have a real-world impact. To talk about the nuances of cyberbullying - and what to do if it happens to you - we’re joined by Jayde Petrie, Lead Team Coordinator at Project Rockit.

12: Online dating: How much is too much?
With the rise of apps and online dating making it easier than ever to match, swipe and connect with prospective partners, we can start forming genuine bonds with people before we’ve even had that first real-life date. But how much do you share about yourself before you meet someone? And does online dating really lead to happy-ever-afters? Joining us to chat through the ups and downs of dating in the digital age is Hannah Baker, co-host of the Whinge podcast.

10. Socialising: Is it safe to socialise online?
Socialising online seems like a fairly normal way to connect in the present day – with great friendships being formed on social media platforms, online forums, through gaming and more every day. Not everyone using these platforms has such good intentions, though. In this episode, Trent Ray from the Cyber Safety Project chats with us about staying safe when you’re socialising online – whether you’re spotting a catfish, or giving cyber bullying the block.

8. Privacy: I'm not doing anything weird so why does online privacy matter?
We’re all entitled to a little privacy – it’s a human right. The thing is, our privacy is impacted nearly every time we go online and use social media. In this episode, we’re joined by Susan McLean from Cyber Safety Solutions, who’s helping us to solve some of the key pieces of the privacy puzzle. So you can feel that much safer and more secure online - even if you’re not doing anything particularly ‘out there’ in the first place!

Trailer
Being a digital native is a really cool privilege. You understand how to use devices, navigate digital platforms and get lost in cyber-worlds that baffle the boomers. But much like the real world, there’s bullying, corruption, sexual exploitation and safety concerns. As a Young Carer, you’ve probably already got a lot on your plate. So we’ve designed this podcast to help you access all the information you need to stay safe in the digital age. We’re here to answer all the big hairy questions you’re too embarrassed to ask anyone else, like… What’s the definition of bullying? Why does it feel so damn good to scroll? Is it really socialising if I’m doing it online? Or… Can someone take advantage of me online? If any of these questions are ones you’ve thought about before, then you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Safe is Savvy podcast: a guide to staying safe while having heaps of fun in the digital and real worlds. I’m Madeleine Buchner, Founder of Little Dreamers and your host. Each episode, I’ll be talking to an expert guest about all things E-Safety. Safe is Savvy premiers on 30 March 2022 and episodes drop every fortnight, so be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or visit the Dreamers Hub at dreamershub.com.au to never miss an episode.
