Victoria Police have not ruled out further updates to the list of Melbourne childcare centres where alleged paedophile Joshua Dale Brown worked, after another workplace was revealed today.

Police tonight confirmed Brown worked a single shift at World of Learning Point Cook on August 24, 2023, after childcare operator G8 Education sent an email to parents yesterday.

Detectives also adjusted the date Brown worked at Kids Academy in Melton to 12 September 2024, after an incorrect date was previously shared.

“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,” a police spokesperson said.

“Since the arrest of Brown, an urgent investigation has been led by detectives from the Sexual Crimes Squad and this investigation remains ongoing.”

Due to the “ongoing, active” nature of the investigation, police said further updates to Brown’s timeline of employment were “quite possible”.

Childcare giant G8 Education wrote to parents at World of Learning Point Cook yesterday to advise them of the development.

“We are writing to you because your child attended World of Learning Point Cook on 24 August 2023,” the letter read.

“In the interest of transparency, it was important we inform you of this information as soon we could and apologise that we were unable to provide it earlier.”

The letter, signed by G8 Education chief executive and managing director Pejman Okhovat, said there were “no records” of Brown working at World of Learning Point Cook on any other occasion.

“In light of this new information about Mr Brown’s presence at World of Learning Point Cook, the Victorian government and Victoria Police may contact you with further information or recommendations and we want to prepare you for that,” the letter read.

“These allegations have been deeply distressing for our entire community and we have been focused on supporting all those impacted, together with assisting the Victoria Police with their thorough investigation, to obtain justice for all children and families involved.”

Yesterday, it also emerged that Brown had worked shifts at a further four centres than originally identified by the Victorian government and police.

Police now believe Brown worked at 24 childcare centres between January 2017 and May 2025.

Brown is charged with 70 offences relating to eight alleged victims police say were at Creative Gardens Early Learning Centre in Point Cook between April 2022 and January 2023.

At this stage, there is no information to suggest offending occurred at any of the other centres Brown worked at.
