Ethical Auditing Standards Built for Australia

The next generation in modern slavery risk management across supply chains.

Modern slavery reporting is no longer enough

In July 2026, the Federal Government announced its proposal for a "failure to prevent” modern slavery offence. This requires more than just mere reporting.

Retailers and their suppliers need to prepare

Policymakers, regulators and industry leaders are increasingly emphasising reporting, due diligence and accountability around labour practices or face potential penalties of up to 10% of annual turnover. This requires active identification, prevention, mitigation and remediation of modern slavery risks in your operations and supply chains.

EthicSure has been developed in response to this shift.
