SUMMARY:The price of harm: Initial insights on the costs of OCSEA in Australia 
DESCRIPTION:Online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA) is an urgent\, national issue\, with far-reaching consequences. However\, there is a distinct lack of information on the economic toll this crime takes on society – and without this insight\, efforts to enact systemic change can be limited.  \n\n\n\nOur July Monthly Brown Bag will explore the outcomes from a first-of-its-kind Australian study into the economic and financial costs and impacts of OCSEA\, conducted through a partnership between the University of Queensland (UQ) and ICMEC Australia. Presented by Dr Jonah Rimer\, lead researcher from UQ\, the session will focus on the study’s recently completed initial phase\, which established the existing knowledge base\, and conceptualised the meaning of OCSEA costs.   \n\n\n\nJoin us to hear a summary of the identified costs\, the sectors likely to be involved\, and participate in a discussion about the next steps of the study. This is an opportunity to provide input on cross-sector efforts to progress the research agenda and identify how industry can translate the findings into meaningful\, tangible action.  \n\n\n\nTo read the full report\, visit our research page.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Jonah Rimer is a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Queensland and Convenor of Cyber Criminology for the university’s postgraduate Cyber Security programs. He holds a Doctorate in Anthropology and a Master’s in Medical Anthropology from Oxford University\, where he was a Commonwealth Scholar. Jonah’s research areas are online sexual offending\, child abuse\, human factors in cybercrime\, social science of the internet\, childhood and youth studies\, and the justice system. He has been researching online child sexual exploitation and abuse since 2007 while in academia and the non-profit sector. For a list of publications\, see Jonah’s UQ profile.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n24 July 2025 \n\n\n\nThursday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST / Sydney  \n\n\n\n12:00pm - 1:00pm ACST / Adelaide time \n\n\n\n10:30am - 11:30am AWST / Perth time  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline event \n\n\n\nvia Microsoft teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRegistrations for this event have now closed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more details on ICMEC Australia's events\, visit our industry events page below. \n\n\n\n\nICMEC AUSTRALIA'S INDUSTRY EVENTS

SUMMARY:Leading with care: How travel companies are protecting children
DESCRIPTION:This session highlights the powerful role that the travel and tourism industry can play in protecting children from sexual exploitation and abuse. With more than one in four Australians having experienced child sexual abuse (ACMS\, 2023)\, businesses across this sector have a unique opportunity to be part of the solution.   \n\n\n\nWhether it’s through booking platforms or hotel staff on the ground\, companies in travel and accommodation can be in a position to identify risks and respond early. Recent cases in which hotel staff have identified and stopped abuse on their premises serve as a powerful reminder that awareness and training can prevent harm and save lives.  \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we’ll hear directly from Marriott International and Booking.com on the proactive steps they are taking to strengthen child safeguarding.   \n\n\n\nHosted by ICMEC Australia\, this session will open with a brief overview of how child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) can occur within the travel and tourism industry\, followed by a panel discussion with leaders from Marriott and Booking.com. We’ll explore how businesses can take action and why this work is not just ethical\, but essential to building trust\, safety\, and social impact across the tourism industry.  \n\n\n\nPlease note\, the session will run under the Chatham House Rule: while participants may freely use information received during the event\, the identity and affiliation of any speakers and participants must not be disclosed without express prior consent.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbbe Horswill is the Director of Human Rights at Marriott International. She oversees Marriott’s human rights and human trafficking awareness initiatives\, manages strategic partnerships and programs with nonprofit organisations\, and provides education and guidance on human rights issues. Prior to joining the Marriott team\, Abbe spent more than a decade in the anti-trafficking field\, working at leading organisations\, including Polaris and the National and International Centers for Missing and Exploited Children. She is thrilled to share this field-driven subject matter expertise with Marriott and the hospitality industry to help combat human trafficking\, advance human rights\, and make a positive social impact.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Easterday\, Head of Human Rights at Booking.com\, leads the development and execution of the company's human rights strategy. Since January 2023\, she has built and led a dedicated team advancing business and human rights standards across the organisation. Before Booking.com\, she co-founded and served as Executive Director of JustPeace Labs\, a non-profit organisation promoting the ethical and responsible development of digital technology. She holds a law degree from UC Berkeley School of Law and is licensed to practice law in California. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n21 August 2025 \n\n\n\nThursday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:00pm – 3:00pm AEST / Sydney time \n\n\n\n1:30pm - 2:30pm ACST / Adelaide time \n\n\n\n12:00pm - 1:00pm AWST / Perth time  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline event \n\n\n\nvia Microsoft teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRegistration for this event has now closed.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more details on ICMEC Australia's events\, visit our industry events page below. \n\n\n\n\nICMEC AUSTRALIA'S INDUSTRY EVENTS

SUMMARY:ICMEC Australia Symposium 2025: Convergence 
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to present our third major annual event in Sydney\, the ICMEC Australia Symposium 2025: Convergence.  \n\n\n\nFrom the digital trafficking of children across countries to the financial sexual extortion of young people\, child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is an issue that crosses both geographical borders and industry sectors. With more than 1 in 4 Australians having experienced child sexual abuse (ACMS\, 2023)\, we are facing a silent epidemic and a whole-of-system approach is paramount in our fight against this heinous crime.  \n\n\n\nThis in-person\, one day event will unite leaders from across the child protection response system\, including businesses whose platforms or services may be misused to exploit children. The event will focus on a shared goal: to support and strengthen the professionals who detect\, report\, prosecute\, and prevent CSEA.   \n\n\n\nThe Symposium offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts from across public and private sectors\, showcasing the latest intelligence\, cutting-edge solutions\, and innovative strategies driving cross-sector collaboration.   \n\n\n\nTo ensure ICMEC Australia can continue advancing our work in the child protection space\, this year’s Symposium will be a paid ticketed event.  \n\n\n\nSave the date \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information about this event is to come - be the first to know by signing up to our newsletter below. \n\n\n\n\nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER

SUMMARY:The cost of missing the signs: Addressing CSEA risk 
DESCRIPTION:Financial institutions - including payments providers\, crypto exchanges\, fintech’s\, and banks - play a critical role in preventing child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA)\, often without being fully aware of the influence they already hold. Following recent regulatory learnings\, this session brings together industry professionals to provide practical steps to ensure your organisation is equipped to identify risks\, strengthen controls\, and respond confidently.  \n\n\n\nWe will unpack the financial\, regulatory\, and reputational risks that can sit within everyday customer activity and demonstrate how finance professionals are uniquely positioned to disrupt and prevent harm from various areas across their company.   \n\n\n\nJoin us for our first Brown Bag of the year as we outline sector-specific actions financial services organisations can take to move beyond compliance and actively disrupt harm. You will leave with practical next steps and a clear view of how ICMEC Australia can work alongside your institution to build safer systems\, reduce risk\, and contribute to a stronger\, more responsible financial ecosystem.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNick Kokay  \n\n\n\nHead of Compliance and MLRO\, Australia\, Coinbase  \n\n\n\nNick Kokay is the Head of Compliance and MLRO at Coinbase.

SUMMARY:Signals to action: Building a safety stack to disrupt child sexual exploitation and abuse 
DESCRIPTION:Our April Brown Bag builds on our upcoming Symposium theme - the evolution of a modern “safety stack” capable of preventing\, detecting\, and disrupting child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) at scale. Bringing together two ICMEC Australia board members with senior experience in law enforcement and financial crime\, this session will explore how technical tools\, organisational culture and workforce capability are used to create a stronger response to fighting child sexual exploitation.  \n\n\n\nWith a particular focus on technology\, including AI‑enabled tools and digital platforms\, the conversation will explore how these capabilities can be used ethically and effectively in the fight against CSEA. The session will look at how emerging technologies are identifying risk earlier\, where their limitations lie\, and how collaboration between law enforcement and financial institutions helps ensure those signals translate into timely\, lawful disruption.  \n\n\n\nThe session will highlight real‑world lessons on ethical technology use\, cross‑sector escalation\, and what “effective disruption” looks like in practice - with a focus on preventing harm\, not just detecting or reporting it.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoug Boudry APM\, Non-Executive Director\, ICMEC Australia\n\n\n\nDoug Boudry is a consultant who specialises in the development of emerging technologies\, building strategies and helping to drive collaboration efforts across government\, academia\, private industry and the community.

Doug joined the ICMEC Australia Board in 2025 as part of his ongoing commitment to protecting children and ensuring a safer future for all Australians.    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Fogarty\, Non-Executive Director\, ICMEC Australia\n\n\n\nJohn Fogarty is a seasoned compliance executive with over 35 years’ experience across regulatory and financial crime compliance. Most recently\, he served as Executive General Manager and Group Money Laundering Reporting Officer at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia\, leading significant risk and compliance capability uplift. John held senior roles at HSBC\, CLSA\, and UBS across Australia and Asia\, and began his career as a Detective with the NSW Police Force. He is passionate about capability building and fostering the next generation of compliance professionals.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n29 April 2026 \n\n\n\nWednesday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm - 1:30pm AEST / Sydney \n\n\n\n12:30pm – 1:30pm AEST / Brisbane  \n\n\n\n12:00pm - 1:00pm ACST / Adelaide   \n\n\n\n10:30am - 11:30am AWST / Perth   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline event \n\n\n\nvia Microsoft teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nRegister for this event below \n\n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more details on ICMEC Australia's events\, visit our industry events page below. \n\n\n\n\nICMEC AUSTRALIA'S INDUSTRY EVENTS
