Modern Slavery Statement 2021

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as slavery, servitude and compulsory labour and human trafficking, all of which have in common the deprivation of a person’s liberty by another to exploit them for personal or commercial gain. Charles Sturt University has a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and we are committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships. We are implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our business or supply chains.

Charles Sturt is also committed to ensuring there is transparency in our business and approach to tackling modern slavery through supply chains, consistent with the disclosure obligations under the New South Wales and Commonwealth Modern Slavery acts. The policies and legislation apply to all people working for the university or on its behalf. In support of this, we produced our 2021 Modern Slavery Statement, setting out the steps we have taken, and are planning to take, to ensure there is no slavery in our business and supply chains.
