What is Modern Slavery?

Modern Slavery is the exploitation of individuals for the purpose of personal or commercial gain and is prohibited under Article 4 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It is defined by a range of practices that include: trafficking in persons; slavery; servitude; forced marriage; forced labour; debt bondage; deceptive recruiting for labour or services; and the worst forms of child labour and is visible in many global supply chains.

 

Modern Slavery Compliance Reporting Thresholds

Australian Commonwealth legislation, Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), requires entities with an annual revenue of $100 million to publicly report on how they are managing the risk of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains.  The Act commenced on 1 January 2019.

Modern Slavery Act 2018 (NSW) is New South Wales (NSW) State specific legislation requiring entities with revenue above $50 million to monitor and report Modern Slavery risks. The Act came into effect on 1 January 2022.
