Child Sex Offenders Found Leading School Tours at Aboriginal Sites in Victoria
  • Two registered child sex offenders have been found engaging with schoolchildren at Aboriginal meeting places in Victoria.

  • The offenders were involved in conducting cultural tours for schoolchildren, with photographic evidence showing one offender posing with kids.

  • Current policies at these Aboriginal organizations do not mandate background checks for new members, allowing a sex offender to participate for a year undetected.

  • While the Victorian state government requires Working With Children Checks for workers, both paid and volunteer, this does not extend to organization members.

  • In response to these incidents, Willum Warrain, an Aboriginal community group, has revised its policies to prevent registered sex offenders from joining.
