Modern Slavery Statement — Lawn Mowing Victoria

Lawn Mowing Victoria is committed to a clear and unwavering stance against modern slavery and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our zero-tolerance policy across our operations and supply chains. We recognise our responsibility as a provider of Victoria lawn care and lawn services and take active steps to identify, prevent and remediate any form of exploitation in our business and procurement activities.

Our zero-tolerance policy is non-negotiable: any evidence of forced labour, debt bondage, human trafficking or exploitation will result in immediate action, including termination of relationships. We require all employees and contractors to adhere to ethical labour standards and we promote awareness through training. The commitment to ethical sourcing for lawn mowing in Victoria underpins every contract and procurement decision.

We apply risk-based due diligence to understand where modern slavery risks may exist, considering geographic, sectoral and supplier-specific factors. Our approach covers direct hires, subcontractors and seasonal labour used in grounds maintenance. We integrate modern slavery considerations into procurement processes to ensure transparency and accountability in how we source materials, equipment and labour.

We conduct regular supplier audits and assessments to monitor compliance. These audits combine documentation review, remote checks and, where necessary, on-site visits. Suppliers are expected to maintain records that demonstrate lawful employment, safe working conditions and fair remuneration. We include modern slavery clauses in contracts to enable corrective action and, when required, contractual termination.

Our compliance program includes the following measures:

• Supplier audits: scheduled and surprise assessments to verify labour practices;
• Worker interviews and verification: confidential checks to confirm voluntary employment;
• Contractual requirements: clear clauses prohibiting forced labour and requiring remediation;
• Training: targeted training for procurement, site managers and crew supervisors on recognising risks;
• Whistleblowing and reporting channels: confidential mechanisms for concerns to be raised safely.

For lawn maintenance Victoria operations we prioritise suppliers with clear labour standards, documented recruitment practices and a demonstrated track record of ethical employment. Where risk is identified, we implement corrective action plans and, if improvements are not made, we cease the relationship.

We provide multiple secure reporting channels so workers, suppliers and stakeholders can raise concerns. Reports are treated confidentially and investigated impartially. Our reporting mechanisms protect whistleblowers and ensure that alleged instances of exploitation are escalated immediately for investigation. Reporting channels are designed to be accessible to all workers, regardless of language or status.

If modern slavery is identified, Lawn Mowing Victoria commits to rapid remediation proportionate to the harm. Remedial steps may include worker support, repayment of unlawful deductions, subcontractor replacement, and systemic improvements to recruitment and oversight. We assess remediation outcomes and monitor effectiveness to reduce recurrence.

Annual review: Our Modern Slavery Statement and related policies are subject to an annual review by senior management and the governance committee. The review examines supplier audit results, incident responses, training completion rates and improvements in procurement practices. We set measurable targets each year to strengthen prevention efforts and increase transparency in the lawn care and mowing supply chain across Victoria. This statement reflects our ongoing commitment to eliminate modern slavery and to continuously improve our practices.
