Already underway in Adelaide primary schools, it aims to involve all SA primary schools by 2026–2027, then high schools by 2027–2028. Backed by research linking early phone use to depression, obesity, and sleep issues, the government seeks to reshape social norms and promote active lifestyles. Parents set their own waiting period, with a minimum commitment to Year Seven, avoiding rigid age limits. Schools are key to sparking these conversations and offering mutual support. Parents can find local sessions or register online via the Wait Mate SA website, with over 600 primary schools targeted by mid-2027.
