Résumé

This Act requires entities based, or operating, in Australia, which have an annual consolidated revenue of more than $100 million, to report annually through a so called “modern slavery statement” on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains, and actions to address those risks. Other entities based, or operating, in Australia may report voluntarily. The Commonwealth also is required to report on behalf of non‑corporate Commonwealth entities, and the reporting requirements also apply to Commonwealth corporate entities and companies with an annual consolidated revenue of more than $100 million. This Act extends to every external Territory and extends to acts, omissions, matters and things outside Australia.
