ACT Policing has urged sexual assault victims and witnesses who used a childcare centre operating from a house in Curtin between the 1970s and 1990s to come forward.
Police are also seeking information about a facility in church in Curtin at around the same period.
Operation Attest will investigate allegations of historical sexual abuse at institutions in the ACT.
An ACT Policing spokeswoman said the operation offered victims a streamlined process for reporting historical sexual offences at institutions, should they wish to do so.
She said police acknowledged the emotional hardship and courage involved in coming forward
Operation Attest provided the appropriate avenue to do so, respecting victim privacy throughout the entire process, she said.
