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.

SUMMARY:The rise of sadistic online exploitation: What frontline professionals need to know 
DESCRIPTION:Sadistic online exploitation (SOE) is an emerging form of online harm that thrives within networked communities where exploitation\, humiliation and violence can become pathways to belonging and status. Unlike traditional models of online abuse\, SOE often blurs the lines between victimisation and participation\, creating significant challenges for prevention and response efforts.  \n\n\n\nIn our September Brown Bag\, Amanda Goharian will unpack the latest research on SOE\, explore how these environments operate\, examine the impact on young people\, and discuss opportunities to improve early intervention\, detection and cross-sector collaboration to better protect children and young people online.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmanda Goharian\, \n\n\n\nDirector\, Research & Insights\, Thorn\n\n\n\nAmanda Goharian is the Director of Research & Insights at Thorn\, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming how children are protected from sexual abuse and exploitation in the digital age. She is a subject matter expert in technology-facilitated child sexual abuse\, CSAM\, and online safety. At Thorn\, she leads the organisation’s research strategy focused on identifying emerging online child safety risks and translating findings into practical\, decision-ready insights for the child safety ecosystem. With over a decade of experience\, her work prioritises applied research to inform effective policies\, tools\, and interventions that strengthen digital protections and resilience.       \n\n\n\n\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\n17 September 2026  \n\n\n\nThursday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00am - 12:00pm AEST / Sydney \n\n\n\n11:00am - 12:00pm AEST / Brisbane \n\n\n\n 10:30am - 11:30am ACST / Adelaide \n\n\n\n9:00am - 10:00am 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\nPlease register for this event below.
