Modern Slavery Act

Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 is the first national legislation to define modern slavery. The Modern Slavery Act 2018 obliges entities with more than $100 million in consolidated revenue to report on the risk of modern slavery occurring in supply lines or investments.

Given the inter-connectedness of modern business and the scale of modern slavery, it’s essential to understand what modern slavery is and how it impacts financial services.
