A Bit About Rosie...

Rosie Thomas OAM is cofounder of PROJECT ROCKIT, Australia’s youth-driven movement against (cyber)bullying, hate and prejudice. Rosie launched PROJECT ROCKIT when she was fresh out of high school and sick and tired of seeing bullying destroy the lives of her peers. Fast forward almost two decades and that restless idea for change has now directly impacted over 650,000 school students and is set to reach 1 million young people by 2026. Rosie is relentlessly passionate about engineering a kinder digital world and has served on the Global Safety Advisory Boards of big tech, such as Meta to ensure young people’s voices are heard. Her work has been recognised by UNICEF among the 12 Digital Champions for Children’s Rights in the Digital Age and was honoured in Washington D.C. with the International Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cybersafety. Rosie has also received an Order of Australia Medal, recognising her service to young people and her work against bullying.
