Our approach to modern slavery
Seers Group Australia Pty Ltd, trading as Seers Digital (ABN 72 156 513 138), opposes modern slavery in all its forms, including forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking, deceptive recruiting and the worst forms of child labour. This page explains how we identify and manage that risk in our operations and supply chains.
Who we are
Seers Digital is an Australian-owned technology consultancy, established in 2012, with offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide. We design, build and support Microsoft, Salesforce and data platforms for government agencies and regulated organisations. Our services are delivered mainly by our own permanent employees, supported by a small number of specialist contractors and partners.
Our reporting position
Seers Digital is below the A$100 million consolidated revenue threshold that requires a modern slavery statement under the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth). We publish this information voluntarily, and we support our government clients in meeting their obligations under the Commonwealth Act and the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (NSW), including by answering supplier due diligence questions.
Where the risks are
As a professional services business our direct risk is low, but some of what we buy carries higher risk. We focus our attention on these areas.
| Area | Why it carries risk | How we manage it |
|---|---|---|
| ICT hardware and devices | Electronics supply chains can involve forced labour in component manufacturing and raw materials. | We buy from established manufacturers and resellers that publish modern slavery statements, and we extend the life of devices where we can. |
| Office services | Cleaning, security and facilities work is recognised as higher risk for labour exploitation. | We use building-managed or established providers and ask about their labour practices when we engage them. |
| Contractors and labour hire | Subcontracted and labour hire workers can be exposed to underpayment, withheld documents or recruitment debt. | We engage contractors directly or through established recruitment agencies, and our contracts require compliance with Australian workplace laws. |
| Recruitment | Workers can be charged fees or misled about the role. | We never charge candidates recruitment fees, and every role is offered with a written contract and clear terms. |
| Cloud and software | Global technology providers have large and complex supply chains. | We work with major platform providers that publish modern slavery statements, including our technology partners. |
What we do
- Maintain policies on ethical conduct, procurement and whistleblowing that cover modern slavery.
- Include modern slavery questions in how we assess and onboard suppliers, as part of the supplier management controls in our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified management system.
- Include clauses in our supplier and subcontractor agreements requiring compliance with Australian law and co-operation with reasonable modern slavery enquiries.
- Employ our people directly on written contracts, with pay and conditions that meet or exceed Australian workplace laws.
- Brief our people on what modern slavery is, how to recognise warning signs and how to report a concern.
- Support social procurement, including our partnership with Kirra Services since 2021.
If we find a problem
If we identify modern slavery or a serious risk of it in our operations or supply chain, we will put the safety of affected people first, work with the supplier to fix the issue, and end the relationship if it is not addressed. Where a matter may be a crime, we will refer it to the appropriate authorities.
Raising a concern
Anyone can raise a concern with us, including employees, contractors, suppliers and members of the public. Contact us through our contact page, marked "Modern slavery concern". Concerns are handled confidentially, and we will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
If someone is in immediate danger, call 000. To report suspected human trafficking or slavery, contact the Australian Federal Police on 131 237. In New South Wales, you can also contact the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner.
