The Modern Slavery Reporting Requirement
The Modern Slavery Act 2018, requires entities which are based in, or operating within Australia, and which have a consolidated revenue of more than $100 million, to report annually to the Home Affairs Minister. The report, referred to as a “Modern Slavery Statement” must identify risks of modern slavery in the organisation’s operations and supply chain and the actions taken to address those risks. The statement will be made publicly available online through a Modern Slavery Statements Register.
Modern Slavery Statements must address specific mandatory criteria. The intent behind the statements is to increase organisation transparency and public scrutiny, with an expectation that organisations will improve year-on-year.
If an organisation does not comply with the legislation, it may be asked by the Minister to provide an explanation for its non-compliance. The failure to comply may also be published resulting in reputational damage. This could be damaging for organisations that rely on a positive public image as part of their branding.
It is expected that over time, additional compliance measures and penalties may be introduced for organisations that fail to comply.
