The Commission expresses its deep sympathy to those impacted by the alleged offending related to the Australian Federal Police’s (AFP) Operation Moonbi and acknowledges the lifelong impact these events have on children and families.
The AFP dedicated local contact point for Operation Moonbi is now complete. Concerned families are able to contact the AFP via email at op-moonbi@afp.gov.au.
