This innovative approach enhances the capabilities of frontline partners in identifying and combating this crime[3].
- **Community Awareness and Education**: ICMEC Australia supports comprehensive, community-wide awareness programs to educate parents, empower educators, and involve young people in understanding and addressing online-facilitated sexual abuse. This helps in creating a more informed and vigilant community[3].

This multi-stakeholder approach is crucial for creating a safer digital environment[3].
