Two new codes under the Online Safety Act 2025, the Child Protection Code (CPC) and Risk Mitigation Code (RMC), will take effect on June 1, requiring digital platforms to take stricter action against harmful content and better protect children online.

The MCMC said in a statement today that both codes were developed following engagement sessions with industry players, civil society organisations and stakeholders, including a public consultation held from Feb 12 to March 31.
