Gold Coast, Australia – Thursday 23rd October, 2025 – From the Brisbane Lions to the West Coast Eagles, Gold Coast SUNS, Brisbane Bullets, AusCycling, NFL and Special Olympics Australia, Playbk Sports clients are redefining how sport connects with schools. Through digital learning that combines storytelling, physical activity and education, they’re inspiring students and teachers nationwide — powered by safe video hosting.
But from December 2025, Australia’s new social media age restrictions will reshape that landscape. Under the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act 2024, users under 16 will lose logged-in access to platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.
A new ClickView white paper — Decoding Social Media Restrictions for Australian Educators (2025) explains what this means for schools and why it matters to organisations delivering sport-based learning programs.
As ClickView CEO Edward Filetti notes,
“This marks a turning point for how schools balance engagement with safety. The new rules are not about limiting learning, they’re about protecting it.”

The Challenge: Balancing Engagement and Safety
Teachers have long relied on YouTube for classroom learning. ClickView’s national survey of 433 schools found that 82% use YouTube to clarify complex ideas, while 60% rely on it for classroom engagement yet 40% of children’s most recent exposure to online harm came via YouTube, including hateful, violent or unhealthy content
As Clinical Psychologist Dr Danielle Einstein shared during a ClickView webinar in August 2025,
“YouTube was designed for education and entertainment, but its delivery has become addictive like other platforms… the rise in addictive use undermines wellbeing and learning.”
Schools now face a pressing challenge: how to retain engaging video-based learning without exposing students to unfiltered content or manipulative algorithms.
The Solution: Trusted Platforms, Safer Learning
ClickView — Playbk Sports strategic video partner offers a solution built specifically for education. It’s ad-free, curriculum-aligned and fully vetted, giving teachers and organisations a secure, compliant alternative to open social platforms.
Playbk Sports co-founder Damian Hecker explains,
“Our mission has always been to connect sport and education in meaningful, measurable ways. ClickView enables that connection to happen safely, ensuring every student and teacher can engage with our programs in a trusted, distraction-free environment.”

This partnership safeguards content across all Playbk Sports’ learning platforms, from Eagles Active and SUNS Learning to Bullets Assist, SOA Learning, and NFL FLAG. Each program uses safe video via ClickView hosting to deliver lessons that are educational, inspiring, and compliant with school standards.
As ClickView’s education expert Tara Walsh puts it, “The goal isn’t to restrict creativity but to curate it safely, empowering schools to keep lessons engaging and connected to the real world.”

Across Australia, thousands of students now access Playbk Sports clients programs through ClickView, from Freestyle Footy by West Coast Eagles, Leadership and fitness on SUNS Learning, to Inspire at the Brisbane Lions, Teach Like A Bullet at Brisbane Bullets, bike education via AusBike Digital and Teacher Accreditation Courses for NFL FLAG.

The Bigger Picture: A Smarter, Safer Era
This isn’t just about compliance, it’s about leadership.
Australia’s shift toward safe, trusted video platforms reflects a deeper change: moving from open consumption to guided exploration.
As Edward Filetti explains,
“The future of digital learning isn’t just about access, it’s about trust. Schools, parents and students all need to know that what they’re watching is safe, relevant and designed for learning.”
Playbk Sports shares that mission. Together with ClickView, our clients are helping shape a future where every video delivers real learning value, for students, teachers, and communities across Australia.
