Bupa releases 2023 Modern Slavery Statement

In order for us to live our purpose, we recognise the need to be a responsible business. That’s why we continue to evolve our approach to identifying and mitigating modern slavery risk, ensuring year-on-year improvement to help combat this global problem. 

During the 2023 reporting period we focused on providing tools and training to support our people in their day-to-day roles, namely: 

1. We partnered with Anti-Slavery Australia to design and deliver training to our Australian Executives and Senior Leaders to improve their understanding of modern slavery, the regulatory environment in which we operate and Bupa Australia's obligations, and how Bupa Australia and other businesses more broadly are responding; 

2. We designed and deployed a voluntary online learning module which is now accessible to all of our Australian employees to help raise awareness of the topic, helping them to understand what they can do in their roles to identify and reduce modern slavery risk; and 

3. We developed a Supplier Assessment Framework for Australian employees to identify, assess and act on supplier modern slavery risk.  

Further detail on each of these activities, and the broader work Bupa Australia has undertaken over the course of the 2023 reporting period to assess and manage modern slavery risks, are provided within this Modern Slavery Statement which has been prepared in accordance with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth).
