Modern Slavery Awareness

Course information

The behaviours and practices which constitute modern slavery are serious human rights violations.

Modern slavery can be found in every corner of our globalised world. 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.
