Modern Slavery Laws Are Shifting the Focus from Risk Identification to Prevention and Criminal Liability

 Modern Slavery Act Reform Update The Australian Government has proposed strengthening the Modern Slavery Act. This signals an important shift from simply identifying risk, to demonstrating risk prevention.

Organisations face greater government scrutiny and need evidence they have directly engaged all suppliers, identified gaps in risk controls, and taken reasonable steps to prevent modern slavery.
This exposes a critical blind spot for organisations relying on methods and tools that focus on statistical analysis, modelling, and third-party risk data. These approaches often filter which suppliers should be assessed and leave organisations open to potential liability. They can flag where modern slavery risk may exist, but they do not engage suppliers directly and cannot show the modern slavery risk controls they have in place.
iPRO closes that gap. We directly connect supplier risk assessments with preventative action plans by involving your suppliers from the start. Suppliers provide information about their existing policies, procedures and training, enabling you to identify specific gaps that require action. This creates a documented path from risk assessment to corrective action plans and continuous improvement.
iPRO Modern Slavery Assessment & Reporting Tool enables you to:
Assess suppliers directly, at scale
Identify specific gaps in their modern slavery risk controls
Implement appropriate preventative measures
Track actions and improvements over time
Produce evidence of reasonable due diligence
If your current approach does not engage all suppliers and cannot clearly connect risk findings with documented preventative action plans, speak with iPRO about our Modern Slavery Assessment & Reporting Tool.
