About us

VGT members work together to deliver innovative, global strategies that address some of the biggest challenges facing law enforcement in tackling online child sexual abuse. We use a number of tools to enable us to protect children and tackle this global crime.

The AFP is the current chair of the VGT. For more information contact us at VGT-Secretariat@afp.gov.au. Do not report safeguarding concerns about a child or young person to this email address. You should report any concerns to your local police.

In Australia, members of the public who have information about people involved in child abuse are urged to contact the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation. If you know abuse is happening right now or a child is at risk, call police immediately on000.
