What is modern slavery?
The Modern Slavery Act 2018 defines Modern Slavery as:
‘conduct which would constitute:
(a) an offence under Division 270 or 271 of the Criminal Code; or
(b) an offence under either of those Divisions if the conduct took place in Australia; or
(c) trafficking in persons, as defined in Article 3 of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, done at New York on 15 November 2000 ([2005] ATS 27); or
(d) the worst forms of child labour, as defined in Article 3 of the ILO Convention (No. 182) concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, done at Geneva on 17 June 1999 ([2007] ATS 38).’
