Melbourne Seminar: Integrating Human Rights into Third-Party Risk Management: From Onboarding to Continuous Monitoring

About the Event

Regulatory scrutiny and stakeholder expectations around human rights and modern slavery due diligence are intensifying. Organisations are no longer assessed on policies alone, but on whether their third-party risk frameworks are operational, risk-based, and demonstrably effective over time.

This seminar brings together senior practitioners across legal, compliance, risk, procurement, and ESG to examine how organisations are embedding human rights considerations into their third-party risk management programs in a structured and defensible way.

Drawing on observed patterns from supplier self-assessments across industries and jurisdictions, the discussion will move beyond theory to focus on what organisations are actually seeing in practice, where gaps persist, and what meaningful improvement looks like.

The session is designed to be practitioner-led and discussion-oriented. Attendees can expect candid peer exchange, practical takeaways, and the opportunity to benchmark against how others are approaching the same challenges.

Networking drinks will follow the panel, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation in a more informal setting.
