The financial sector's role in child protection

May 6, 2025
child protection

At ICMEC Australia we are working towards a world where online technology cannot be used to harm children.

Detecting financial crime is a core responsibility of the financial services and payments industry and protecting children from exploitation must be at the forefront of these efforts.

Child protection is not just a social responsibility — it’s an environmental, social and governance (ESG) priority. As technology evolves, so too do the tactics of those who seek to harm the most vulnerable.

The financial services and payments industry must unite to prevent, detect, and disrupt child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA). And the broader corporate industry has a responsibility to mitigate their systems being used to facilitate this crime.

Collaboration is key. By sharing learnings, strengthening systems, and prioritising child protection in business practices, we can drive real change — and protect future generations.

ICMEC Australia is committed to supporting the corporate industry whose systems and services are impacted by child sexual exploitation and abuse.

If your organisation is ready to be part of the solution, we’d love to work with you.
