Overview[]

This document explains what child grooming is and what the Australian government is doing to combat child grooming through various laws.

"In recent years, Australia has introduced legislative amendments to counter the online grooming or luring of children for sexual purposes. Most jurisdictions within Australia have legislation in place that criminalises online child grooming for the purposes of sexual contact, and prosecutions have already taken place under this legislation."
