Modern slavery & human trafficking statement Templates for your business

We help organisations Australia‑wide prepare clear, compliant and authentic modern slavery and human trafficking statements under the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018, and manage submissions to the Australian Modern Slavery Statements Register.

About ISOsafe

We are a specialist advisory firm focused on modern slavery, human trafficking and ethical supply chains for businesses operating across Australia. Our consultants combine legal, risk and sustainability expertise to support entities reporting under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 and organisations choosing to report voluntarily.

We work with listed companies, large private groups, government‑owned corporations and purpose‑driven SMEs that want to go beyond minimum compliance and demonstrate genuine leadership on modern slavery risk.

Why modern slavery statements matter

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) requires certain large businesses and other entities in the Australian market with annual consolidated revenue of at least $100 million to prepare an annual modern slavery statement. These statements must describe how modern slavery risks are identified and addressed in an entity’s operations and global supply chains, and are published on the public Modern Slavery Statements Register maintained by the Australian Government.

Human trafficking, forced labour, servitude and the worst forms of child labour sit at the extreme end of labour exploitation, and regulators, investors and consumers expect meaningful action, not generic boilerplate statements.

Our modern slavery services

We provide end‑to‑end support to prepare modern slavery and human trafficking statements tailored to your risk profile, sector and stakeholder expectations.

Our core services include:

• Modern Slavery Act readiness review
  We assess whether your organisation is captured by the Commonwealth reporting requirement, map group entities, and clarify your obligations under the Modern Slavery Act 2018.

• Risk assessment of operations and supply chains
  We identify and prioritise modern slavery risks across your operations and tiered supply chains, drawing on recognised risk indicators and sector/geography data.

• Drafting and reviewing modern slavery statements
  We draft or refine your annual modern slavery and human trafficking statement, ensuring it addresses the mandatory reporting criteria in section 16 of the Act and clearly sets out actions taken and planned.

• Policies, procedures and supplier engagement
  We help you strengthen policies, codes of conduct, due diligence processes and supplier questionnaires to support your statement and underpin continuous improvement.

• Training and capacity building
  We design and deliver practical training for boards, executives, procurement and frontline teams on modern slavery risks and your obligations under the Modern Slavery Act.

Support with the Modern Slavery Statements Register

All modern slavery statements prepared under the Modern Slavery Act must be submitted to the Australian Government’s online Modern Slavery Statements Register and are made publicly available. We provide targeted support to make this process straightforward and low‑risk.

We can:

• Guide you through account setup and reporting entity registration on the Modern Slavery Statements Register.

• Ensure your statement format and approvals meet the Register’s current submission requirements, including governing body approval and responsible member signature.

• Manage the end‑to‑end upload process, including PDF preparation and lodgement before the relevant deadline.

• Review previously published statements on the Register to benchmark your disclosure and identify opportunities to strengthen future reports.
