Mobile phone pouches for Australian schools, universities, concert venues, theatres and events.
The product
Every Australian state and territory has now banned or restricted mobile phones in government schools, with the last states joining in 2024. Independent and Catholic schools set their own policies but overwhelmingly follow suit. The debate has moved from whether to ban to how to enforce it without staff spending the first ten minutes of every day collecting devices.
