3 Modules
Give your people a better understanding of modern slavery, how modern slavery can arise in organisational supply chains and Australia’s reporting framework. This three-module modern slavery training course helps your people identify modern slavery risks, understand relevant reporting requirements and support your organisation’s response.
Modern slavery training is workplace compliance training that helps your people understand modern slavery, identify relevant risks in supply chains and understand how an organisation can respond.
Modern slavery awareness training can give employees a better understanding of warning signs and help raise awareness throughout an organisation. This Australian modern slavery course is designed for general staff, managers and people working in specialist roles.
The Australian Government identifies types of modern slavery including human trafficking, forced labour, forced marriage, servitude, debt bondage, deceptive recruitment and the worst forms of child labour. These are serious crimes under Australian law.
Understanding how modern slavery may appear can help people identify warning signs and respond to concerns. It can also help an organisation consider the risks connected with its business operations and supply chains.

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) establishes Australia’s national modern slavery reporting requirement. It applies to entities based or operating in Australia with annual consolidated revenue of at least $100 million, as well as certain Commonwealth entities. The Commonwealth Government also reports on behalf of non-corporate Commonwealth entities. Other entities may choose to report voluntarily.
A reporting entity covered by the Modern Slavery Act must prepare an annual modern slavery statement explaining how it is addressing modern slavery risks in its operations and supply chains.
A reporting entity must provide its statement within six months after the end of its reporting period. Because the deadline relates to each entity’s reporting period, there is no single national annual due date.
Statements submitted under the Commonwealth Act are made publicly available through the Australian Government’s Modern Slavery Statements Register.
The training course can be delivered through Salt LMS, GRC Solutions’ learning management system.
Salt LMS enables organisations to assign online learning, monitor employee progress and completion, and generate compliance reports. The learning management system can help organisations manage training programs and maintain records showing that required modern slavery training has been completed.
The platform supports SCORM-compliant content, 22 supported languages within a single course and 24/7 access to online training. WebReader text-to-speech functionality is designed in alignment with WCAG accessibility standards, and the Salt LMS mobile app supports iOS and Android. The platform also provides CPD management.
A modern slavery statement is the annual report a reporting entity prepares under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth). Mandatory criteria include information about the entity’s structure, operations and supply chains, its modern slavery risks, actions taken to assess and address modern slavery, and how the effectiveness of those actions is assessed.
Modern slavery training can form part of an organisation’s broader due diligence and response to modern slavery issues. It helps relevant people understand supply chain concerns, warning signs and Australian reporting requirements.
Where modern slavery training is delivered and tracked through Salt LMS, completion records can help an organisation maintain evidence of training activity.
Australia’s response continues to develop. Read about the appointment of Australia’s first Anti-Slavery Commissioner or visit the Australian Anti-Slavery Commissioner for further information and resources.
Training is one part of addressing modern slavery risks. Good practice will depend on the organisation’s operations, supply chains, identified risks and reporting obligations. Organisations engaging directly with people affected by modern slavery should also consider appropriate survivor-informed, gender-sensitive, culturally responsive and trauma-informed approaches.
The Australian Government provides modern slavery guidance, training and resources for frontline workers, community members, businesses and government.
Anti-Slavery Australia says it has been leading Australia’s anti-slavery movement since 2003. It provides education and advisory services intended to help organisations raise awareness and recognise and respond to modern slavery.
These external resources are separate from the GRC Solutions training course and can provide further information for organisations developing broader anti-slavery training programs and response procedures.

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 establishes reporting requirements for entities based or operating in Australia with annual consolidated revenue of at least $100 million, as well as certain Commonwealth entities. The Commonwealth Government also reports on behalf of non-corporate Commonwealth entities. Other entities may choose to report voluntarily.
For entities based or operating in Australia that fall within the revenue-based reporting requirement, the threshold is annual consolidated revenue of at least $100 million. The Act also contains reporting arrangements for Commonwealth entities, while other entities may choose to report voluntarily.
The Act establishes mandatory criteria addressing an entity’s structure, operations and supply chains, modern slavery risks, actions taken to assess and address those risks, including due diligence, and how the effectiveness of those actions is assessed.
Organisations can assess risks in their operations and supply chains, establish appropriate due diligence and reporting processes, provide role-relevant training and ensure employees know how to raise concerns. Modern slavery training should form part of a broader organisational response rather than being treated as the only action required.
GRC Solutions currently lists the Modern Slavery Course (Australia) at $75.00, with a Buy for 1–10 people option. Organisations with broader training requirements can contact GRC Solutions to discuss organisational delivery and tailoring.
