That's the number to call if you find child pornography on the Internet or find any advertising or links which relate to child pornography.

"Child pornography", under the recent Film & Publications Amendment Act, is defined as including "any image, however created, or any description of a person, real or simulated, who is, or who is depicted or described as being, under the age of 18 years -
(i) engaged in sexual conduct; (ii) participating in, or assisting another person to participate in, sexual conduct; or (iii) showing or describing the body, or parts of the body, of such a person in a manner or in circumstances which, within context, amounts to sexual exploitation, or in such a manner that it is capable of being used for the purposes of sexual exploitation".
