National Action Plan to Combat Modern Slavery 2020-25

The Australian Government is committed to taking action to eradicate modern slavery, and to protect and support victims of these crimes.

This is why the ​Government has developed a new five year National Action Plan to Combat Modern Slavery 2020–25, which sets the strategic direction of Australia’s response to these crimes. ​​The National Action Plan to Combat Modern Slavery 2020-25 was launched on 9 December, 2020 by the Assistant Minister for Customs, Community Safety and Multicultural Affairs, The Hon. Jason Wood MP.

The new National Action Plan builds on Australia’s efforts and initiatives under the​​​ ​National Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking and Slavery 2015-19. This includes implementation of Australia’s world-leading Modern Slavery Act 2018.
