Modern Slavery Reporting and Survey Update

As councils finalise their annual reports, a reminder that Guidance on Reasonable Steps (GRS) annual modern slavery reports must be submitted to the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner within 45 days of finalising the annual report.

The NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner has provided guidance and reporting instructions to assist councils with this process.

Annual Sustainable Procurement Survey

Following feedback received last year, the Annual Sustainable Procurement Survey will now be issued in February 2027.

We recognise that the end of the year is a particularly busy period for councils. Moving the survey to early in the new year is intended to make participation easier and encourage a stronger response.

Thank you for your continued commitment to responsible and sustainable procurement.
