Joshua Dale Brown, an accused childcare paedophile, reportedly worked at four more childcare facilities in Melbourne than initially disclosed, as per Victoria Police.

Brown faces allegations of 70 crimes involving eight supposed victims from Creative Gardens Early Learning Centre in Point Cook, spanning from April 2022 to January 2023.

Since then, claims have emerged that Brown may have worked additional shifts at centres.

Those additions include:

  • Kids Academy Waratah Estate – Mickleham – 29 August 2024
  • Milestones Early Learning – Tarneit – 10 September and 13 September 2024
  • Milestones Early Learning – Braybrook – 4 December and 6 December 2024
  • Milestones Early Learning Greensborough – 5 December 2024, 31 January 2025, 27 February 2025

Service dates have also changed for 10 centres mentioned in the original list.

Papilio Early Learning in Hoppers Crossing has been removed from the list of workplaces attended by Brown.

“Despite initial records showing Brown’s employment at Papilio Early Learning in Hoppers Crossing from 22 August 2024 to 12 March 2025, further investigation has confirmed this was incorrect. Consequently, this center has been removed from the list,” stated the government website.

“Victoria Police is in contact with impacted families.”

All other service timelines remain the same at this stage.

There is no suggestion any further alleged offending occurred at any of the centres listed at this stage.

Impacted families will be contacted by the Department of Health, the government said.

Victorian chief health officer Dr Christian McGrath said 830 families would be contacted to offer “wrap around supports and provide testing recommendations”.

“This is obviously a highly distressing situation, and I want to reassure all families being contacted that the potential exposure risk to an infectious disease for their child remains low,” McGrath said.

“Our recommendation for testing is a precaution and the test results we’ve received to date as part of this investigation reaffirms that the risk is low.

“There remains no wider public health risk, and importantly the infectious diseases being tested for can be treated with antibiotics.”
