Expected delays due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred

Australia Post has closed multiple post offices across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales and have temporarily paused delivery services across these areas.  This will cause delays in the dispatch and delivery of AMSA issued documents such as seafarer certificates.

The Australian Government’s Modern Slavery Act 2018 (the Act) came into force on 1 January 2019 and establishes a mandatory reporting regime for entities 

  • with consolidated revenue of at least A $100 million in the reporting period and
  • who are either an Australian entity or a foreign entity carrying on business in Australia. 

The Act requires reporting of an Annual Modern Slavery Statement, (the Statement). The Statement must identify and address the risks of modern slavery in AMSA’s global and domestic operations and supply chains, and actions taken to address those risks.
