Since the start of 2019, Australian businesses with consolidated revenue of A$100 million must report annually on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. They must show the action they have taken to assess and address those risks, and the effectiveness of their response. The statement has to be approved by the board of directors or equivalent and signed by a director.

Modern slavery statement package

Our new modern slavery package offers businesses a way to ensure they are complying with modern slavery requirements.

A compliant and comprehensive Modern Slavery Statement resulting from:

• Full scoping and mapping of your structure, supply chain and operations
• Wide-ranging due diligence
• Training for all affected teams on their obligations under Modern Slavery legislation
• Review of contracts and policies
• A process for managing and remediating incidents
• Review of effectiveness

Time 

We are ready to work with you immediately. We recommend an initial call or discussion with you to understand your needs under the modern slavery legislation and how you will need to report. We can then tailor one of our packages for you with a roadmap to your deadline for issuing a Modern Slavery Statement accompanied by a fee estimate and timing for each step. Most businesses will need to be prepared to issue their first Modern Slavery Statement in 2020 or 2021.

How will the work be performed? 

We have specialists across Australia who can work with you either face-to-face, online or via telephone. We can guide you through your compliance roadmap with regular calls or through customised contact, as you require.
