==== One million dollar reward ====
On 12 September 2016, the second anniversary of Tyrrell's disappearance, the NSW government announced a $1 million reward for information on his whereabouts. The police say that the reward will usually be paid out as conditional on the arrest and conviction of the offender, but the recovery of William had been added as a condition on this reward. It is the largest ever reward offered to find a missing person in NSW's history.<ref>{{cite news|title=William Tyrrell: $1 million reward offered in case of missing NSW boy|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-12/nsw-govt-offering-million-dollar-reward-for-william-tyrrell/7834782|accessdate=12 September 2016|publisher=ABC News|date=12 September 2016}}</ref>
