Legislation to introduce the ban will be introduced to Parliament this year.
It will come into effect 12 months after passing and will apply to all current and future social media users.
The office of the eSafety Commissioner is to provide oversight and enforcement of the ban, including setting out what reasonable steps social media companies can take to implement the ban.
The Commissioner would be able to control what is covered by the ban, and determine what platforms or activities are low-risk and could be exempt.
