Modern Slavery - Deakin College

At Deakin College, we not only pride ourselves as leading education providers, but we also take our responsibilities to identify and mitigate risks to our students very seriously. Due to the risk of human rights and modern slavery being prevalent in the international education sector, it is our duty to help students understand this important topic.

Modern slavery is a global issue that affects millions of people, often in hidden and complex ways. It can include forced labour, deceptive recruiting and human trafficking.

As part of the Navitas education group, we are dedicated to preventing and eradicating this issue in all its forms by increasing awareness among our students. We have an important role to play in creating a world where all individuals enjoy the dignity and rights they deserve.
