Information about previous disciplinary action regarding former employee
Mr Brown was the subject of two internal investigations during his employment with G8 Education between October 2021 and February 2024. The allegations were notified to Victoria Police, the Commission for Children and Young People (CCYP) and the Department of Education (Department) and the outcome of the investigations were notified to CCYP and the Department as required by our own internal policies and procedures and relevant regulation and law. These investigations were unrelated to the charges he is now facing. Further information about the prior investigations is available on G8’s website here.
