With more than seven million likes and 450,000 followers on TikTok, the Outback Boys are here to share a powerful message for First Nations communities across the Top End and around Australia.
In 2025, The Outback Boys are using their trademark light-hearted, bush-meets-tech humour to teach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about the safety tools available on TikTok.
The videos, commissioned by TikTok and produced on location in the Top End by digital media studio Totem Global, highlight how to set your account to private and how to choose who can comment on your videos on the platform.

One video features Opi singing to camera, belting out The Power of Love by Céline Dion, only to find out what he thought was a private video has been shared with his mates (and the world) on TikTok.
In the other video, Dino is attracting extra attention in his TikTok comments section from a celebrity follower... only for him to be caught and questioned by his "wife" (a dressed-up Opi).
Chief executive officer of Totem Global, Steve Crombie shared how seeing the boys educate their community about online safety on TikTok has been nothing but a rewarding experience.
"Having the opportunity to see the Outback Boys - Chico, Joe, Deano, and Opi - educate their community about online safety on TikTok is equally power and heartwarming," he said.
"It's been a privilege to partner with TikTok on this project to help teach First Nations people about the safety tools available for them to take control of their TikTok account."

When they're not teaching mob about social media safety, the Outback Boys showcase what it's like when old-school bushcraft meets modern technology. They turn scrap into survival tools and transform everyday Outback life into epic adventures — all with humour, creativity and a whole lot of heart.
