Tangelo Advice Consulting (ABN 23 424 427 157) is not required by law to comply with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), however we have chosen to display our Modern Slavery Statement on our website on a voluntary basis to demonstrate our commitment to the management of modern slavery risks, and the eradication of modern/all forms of slavery.

Tangelo Advice Consulting is a values driven business committed to respecting and supporting the dignity, well-being, and human rights of our employees, independent specialist consultants we may contract with and those who we engage with through our services.

It’s important to note that our Modern Slavery statement has not been submitted to the Australian Border Force.

What is modern slavery?

Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It takes various forms, such as (but not limited to) slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, and human trafficking (arranging or facilitating the travel or movement of a victim with a view to them being exploited). These practices (amongst others) deprive individuals of their liberty, in order to exploit them for personal or commercial gain.
