As part of the New South Wales curriculum, students in kindergarten to year 12 develop understanding, skills and attitudes to prevent and protect themselves from online image-based abuse. The curriculum also provides a comprehensive approach to ethical behaviour and respectful relationships that explicitly addresses developing interpersonal skills such as refusal and assertiveness, as well as strategies for seeking support for themselves and others.

These learning programs are delivered in the broader context of online safety, identity and respectful relationships as part of the key learning area, Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE).

PDHPE is mandatory for all students from kindergarten to year 10. In New South Wales public schools, this learning is extended through a mandatory 25-hour course for years 11 and/or 12 students.
