Establish an Anti-Slavery Commissioner to work across Government, industry and civil society, to support compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2018, to improve transparency in supply chains and help fight modern slavery in Australia and abroad.
The Government will provide $8.0 million over 4 years from 2023-24 (and $2.0 million per year ongoing) to establish an Anti-Slavery Commissioner to work across Government, industry and civil society, to support compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2018, to improve transparency in supply chains and help fight modern slavery in Australia and abroad. This measure delivers on the Government's election commitment as published in the Plan for a Better Future and builds on the 2022-23 October Budget measure titled Tackling Modern Slavery.
