Police are today releasing updated information in relation to two childcare centres impacted as part of the ongoing priority investigation by the Sexual Crimes Squad into alleged sexual assaults by Joshua Brown.
Investigators were advised late yesterday and confirmed today an additional work location as follows:
- World of Learning in Point Cook on 24 August 2023
The date of one location has been corrected:
- Kids Academy in Melton is 12 September 2024 (not 2 September 2024)
Yesterday, an updated list of impacted childcare centres including four new centres and 10 centres with adjusted dates was released.
A dedicated website has been established by the Victorian government with a full list of employment locations and dates, and is accessible at https://www.vic.gov.au/childcare-centres-investigation
Police now believe Brown worked at 24 childcare centres between January 2017 and May 2025.
Agencies are in the process of contacting the families who had children placed at the new impacted centre in Point Cook during the time of Brown's employment.
Since the arrest of Brown, an urgent investigation has been led by detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad and this investigation remains ongoing.
The information released today is the most accurate and up to date record available. However this remains an ongoing, active investigation which is assessing new information daily, and as such, Victoria Police advises that further updates are quite possible.
Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on www.crimestoppersvic.com.au or via 1800 333 000.
