The Australian Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Chris Evans, released the strategy for 2025-2028, Building Australia’s Ambition and Impact: Strengthening the response to modern slavery.
The plan has four interconnected priorities for the Commissioner:
- Transforming systems to centre survivors and people with lived experience
- Strengthening law and policy
- Driving business and government towards better due diligence
- Improving access to justice and remedy.
The plan is the result of consultation and contributions from more than 250 stakeholders. Importantly, contributions from people with lived experience of modern slavery has helped to develop a plan that is actionable and meaningful.
