A National Compensation Scheme for Victim/Survivors of Moden Slavery

ACRATH’s June 2022 conversation looked at the need for a National Compensation Scheme for Victim/Survivors of Modern Slavery with Professor Jennifer Burn, director of Anti-Slavery Australia. Modern slavery is a violation of human rights. In Australia it is a federal crime. During the conversation Jennifer commented that Australia needs a National Compensation Scheme “that is uniform, accessible, fair and responsive” rather than the eight diverse schemes that currently operate in the states and territories. It is important that survivors of human trafficking are treated equal.
