We stand for the rights of all

Charles Sturt’s Modern Slavery Annual Statement 2024 sets out the university’s commitment to continuously improving practices, to ensuring the university prevents and does not contribute to acts of modern slavery within its supply chains and operation.

Modern slavery denies millions of people around the world their basic human rights. Charles Sturt is committed to ethical practices, to ensure the university and its partners are free from modern slavery.

The university’s commitment to preventing modern slavery extends to ensuring everyone working in Australia or planning to work here is aware of their rights relating to minimum wages, work conditions, and treatment at work. Furthermore, to be conscious of modern slavery’s various forms: slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, underpayment, 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.
