The Australian Government Attorney General’s Department recently sought consultation to inform their work in strengthening the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018.

This public written consultation progresses Stream A, which focusses on options to strengthen the Act’s transparency framework, simplify and improve reporting, and target non-compliance.

IAST APAC welcomes further consultation opportunities in relation to Stream A, and the opportunity to participate in the targeted consultations planned Stream B. Stream B centres on addressing declarations of high-risk matters and obligations for due diligence systems.
