About us

We envision a world where children are safe from exploitation and abuse because CSE crimes are prevented, offenders convicted, and victims relieved.

The problem

Our mission is to support efficient detection, reporting, and prosecution of child sexual exploitation, with children’s safety our number one priority

Our response

Our goal is to see more technology innovations and predictive analytics, increased data collaboration, and more targeted investigations, to reduce the sexual exploitation of children.

OUR RESPONSE

Turning the use of online technology 
to exploit children on its head

At ICMEC Australia, we provide financial institutions with information, data and analytics to significantly strengthen their financial crime investigative capabilities. 

We also unite financial services companies to form a collective front against child sexual exploitation (CSE). Information has been siloed within individual companies for too long, so we are fostering industry-wide partnerships to create a collaborative response.

What we do

At ICMEC Australia, our approach is multifaceted. We’re not just responding; we’re anticipating, innovating and advocating to protect children. 
Here’s how we make a difference:
Collaborations across the public and private sectors
Pioneering research 
Policy and advocacy 
Data product solutions
Training and capability building
Prevention initiatives 
Whether you’re in financial services, telecommunications, corporate social impact, government, law enforcement, academia, or the not-for-profit sector, your involvement holds the power to shield countless children from harm. We invite you to join forces with us to help bring positive change. Let’s connect, collaborate, and fight this heinous crime together.
WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY

Prioritising action & innovation
