Taking Action Together
Catholic organisations must comply with Australia's Modern Slavery Act (MSA) 2018. This means actions must be taken to assess and address modern slavery risks to people in the supply chains and operations of Catholic entities. These actions must be published annually on the Commonwealth Government’s Modern Slavery Register as a Modern Slavery Statement. Actions taken by your business are an important part of our MSA compliance.
Suppliers from the following high-risk sectors should expect to be prioritised for engagement and action requets:
2) Medical consumables, devices and equipment
3) Information and communications technology (ICT)
4) Facility management and property services
5) Cleaning and security services
6) Furniture and office supplies
7) Food and catering services
8) Uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE)
9) Waste management services
10) Linen, laundry and textiles
