Modern Slavery Due Diligence for Australian Businesses

Turn Modern Slavery Expectations Into Confident Action

Retailers, customers and ethical sourcing programs want to see how your business identifies and manages modern slavery risk. With the Australian Government announcing reforms to the Modern Slavery Act 2018, and mandatory due diligence among the changes being considered, now is the time to build that capability. This micro-course explains what due diligence means in practice for Australian businesses and suppliers, with a focus on higher-risk sectors like horticulture, meat, labour hire and logistics.

You’ll learn how to identify where risk sits in your operations, prioritise the actions that matter most and respond with confidence to retailer and customer expectations. The course also connects modern slavery due diligence with ETI, SMETA and Fair Farms, so your work supports the standards your customers may already require.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The Modern Slavery Act currently requires entities with annual consolidated revenue of at least $100 million to report. Businesses of any size can still face modern slavery expectations from retailers and customers, and this course helps you respond with confidence.
Is mandatory due diligence already law?
Not yet. The Australian Government has announced reforms to the Act, and a mandatory due diligence obligation is one of the changes being considered. This course explains what is proposed and how to start building practical due diligence now.
Is this course nationally recognised?
No. This is a non-accredited professional development course. Upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate.
