The men were arrested as part of a joint operation targeting child sex offences after a public tip-off involving a man using an online classified platform to seek children for sex in the southeast Queensland city of Bundaberg.

A 36-year-old Takilberen man was charged with grooming a parent or carer of a child under 16 with the intent to facilitate the procurement of the child to engage in a sexual act and possession of child exploitation material.

He has been remanded in custody and will face Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday.

A 29-year-old Oakwood man charged with grooming will face court in April.
