Modern Slavery Statement.

The Liminal Clinic (ABN 52 901 034 317) is well below the revenue threshold that requires a statement under the *Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth)*. We publish one voluntarily because many of the people we work with have lived through coercion, exploitation and control, and because a clinic that talks about safety and consent should be able to say how it applies those ideas to its own supply chain.

Modern slavery describes situations where coercion, threats or deception are used to exploit people and undermine their freedom: forced labour, debt bondage, servitude, human trafficking, forced marriage and the worst forms of child labour.

• We buy carefully. Where we can, we choose Australian-made or certified goods, and suppliers who publish their own modern slavery statements or labour standards.
• We pay properly. Team members are paid at or above award rates with superannuation, and contractors are paid on time at agreed rates. We do not use unpaid internships or placements.
• We ask. New suppliers of goods, cleaning or facilities services are asked about their labour practices and sub-contracting before we engage them.
• We listen. Anyone — team member, client, supplier or member of the public — can raise a concern with our Director at hello@liminalclinic.com.au. Concerns are taken seriously, kept confidential where possible, and never met with retaliation.
• We stay informed. Our Director completes training on modern slavery indicators, and this statement is reviewed each year alongside our other governance documents.

If we became aware of modern slavery in our supply chain, we would work with the supplier to remedy it where that is possible and safe for the people affected, and end the relationship where it is not.
