Join our mission in the fight against CSEA
Support us
ICMEC Australia is working to create a world where technology cannot be used to harm children by strengthening the systems and professionals responsible for detecting, disrupting and preventing child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA).
Our establishment was supported by Westpac’s Safer Children, Safer Communities initiative, which provided multi-year foundational funding to build our model and prove its impact. As this initial funding period concludes, ICMEC Australia is transitioning from establishment to long-term sustainability.
We are now seeking strategic corporate partners and philanthropic investors to help scale our national impact.
CSEA is increasing in scale and complexity. The response must evolve just as quickly.
Sponsors align with ICMEC Australia year round, demonstrating leadership in the fight against CSEA while accessing exclusive engagement opportunities.
Partner with us on high-impact, purpose-built initiatives - through funding, in-kind expertise, or blended support - to drive measurable change.
We welcome financial and in-kind contributions, large or small, from companies and individuals - every contribution strengthens our impact.
Showcase your organisation’s commitment at our flagship annual Symposium and stand alongside industry, government and law enforcement leaders shaping the child safety ecosystem.
Your support enables us to continue strengthening the child protection ecosystem through collaboration, innovation, capacity building, and advocacy.
Help us create a safer world for our children - now and into the future.
We welcome conversations with organisations ready to play a meaningful role in strengthening Australia’s defence against child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Is ICMEC Australia funded by the ICMEC, government, or philanthropic donors?
We are a proud affiliate of ICMEC Global, though are governed and operate as a wholly independent entity. Our start up funding was from Westpac, with that arrangement coming to a close. ICMEC Australia seeks and applies for government funding and grants as opportunities present. We do not currently receive government funding. Given ICMEC Australia’s direct beneficiaries are industry & government, there are also limited sources of philanthropic funds we are typically able to access, though small donations have been received previously.
Does ICMEC Australia have Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status?
Yes, ICMEC Australia has DGR status and is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
Is there flexibility on the sponsorship packages?
We are very happy to discuss your needs. For instance, we understand that some sponsors may have preferences around use of their logo in marketing, which we can work with you to manage. Please reach out to our corporate engagement team corporate@icmec.org.au
What impact does ICMEC Australia have, and why is this unique?
We track and report our impact year-on-year; you can see our latest Impact Report here. The impact we create is targeted and deep because of our strong industry focus. We receive consistent feedback that our training, working groups, webinars and events are high-quality and meet an industry need. The growth and seniority of participants and attendees is also testament to how highly they are regarded.
ICMEC Australia acknowledges Traditional Owners throughout Australia and their continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and Elders past and present.
