Published: 20 October 2019

The term modern slavery describes situations where coercion, threats or deception are used to exploit victims and undermine their freedom. Many Australian businesses may be unaware of the risk that they have slavery in their business or supply chains. The Global Slavery Index 2018 estimates 15,000 people are living in conditions of modern slavery in Australia.

To assist companies with training employees on modern slavery risk, Allara Learning has developed a new online course Modern Slavery Act Australia - Awareness Training.

This course has been developed in partnership with global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright Australia.

Course topics include:

  • what is modern slavery?
  • types of modern slavery
  • causes of modern slavery
  • modern slavery in Australia
  • the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Australia)
  • red flags - signs to look out for
