Fwiw although the legislation says it applies to all social media, it seems as though the regulation that’s been imposed by the eSafety commissioner to actually implement that legislation relies on designating platforms. And AZ has not been designated. Only “Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X, YouTube, Kick and Reddit are age-restricted platforms”. So it seems as though there may not be any obligation for us to comply.
IANAL though, so take this with salt.
But if you are going to preemptively comply, taking the chinwag approach as you have seems like a pretty good method.

I had previously got a similar impression from the eSafety Commissioner’s publication of those lists of platforms, but it does not seem to be the case they are actually defining regulation there. The lists seem to be, essentially, only statements of intent about which platforms that eSafety will seek enforcement of compliance on.
