About Victoria Police

The Victorian Register of Sex Offenders became operational on 1 October, 2004.

The Register operates under the Sex Offenders Registration Act 2004 and aims to:

• Reduce the likelihood of registered sex offenders re-offending in the community
• Assist the investigation and prosecution of any future offences, and
• Prevent sex offenders from working in child-related employment or volunteer duties.

Victoria Police, as the custodian of the Register under the Act has released statistics.

Victoria Police will report annually on statistics from the Register.
