ICMEC Australia Symposium 2025: Convergence
2025-11-06 09:00 - 16:30 UTC
We are proud to present our third major annual event in Sydney, the ICMEC Australia Symposium 2025: Convergence.

From 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.

This 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.

The 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.

To ensure ICMEC Australia can continue advancing our work in the child protection space, this year’s Symposium will be a paid ticketed event.

The cost of missing the signs: Addressing CSEA risk
2025-12-15 12:30 - 13:30 (Australia/Sydney)
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.

We 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.

Join us for our final Monthly 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.
