Modern slavery &
social compliance,
verified.
Modern slavery programs, ESG frameworks and Sedex memberships all rest on the same assumption — that what’s written down is what’s happening. Ethara Advisory is the verification layer: an APSCA-certified social compliance auditor and career investigator who goes on site, asks the questions, and tells you what’s actually going on. Then explains it in language your board, your suppliers and your procurement team can act on.
Three things, done properly.
Modern Slavery & Social Compliance
Risk assessment, due diligence systems, statements that survive scrutiny — and the on-site verification work most programs are missing. Supplier audits, SMETA and Sedex readiness, and accredited audit delivery across Australia and New Zealand.

Independent investigation of wage underpayment, misconduct, grievance, bullying, harassment and discrimination matters. Procedurally fair, evidentiary, written to hold up.
Learn more 03Training
Nobody understands their ESG, modern slavery and Sedex obligations until someone explains them properly. Practical, plain-language training for boards, procurement teams and operations staff — built from audit-room experience, not slideware.

Verification, not paperwork
Twenty-five years across investigations, audit and compliance. APSCA-certified (CSCA) — one of a small group in Australia. The value isn’t in another framework document; it’s in knowing what to look for when you walk through the gate.
Plain language
Modern slavery law, the Sedex platform, SMETA methodology, mandatory due diligence — this landscape is genuinely confusing, and most advice makes it worse. Everything Ethara produces is designed to be understood and used.
Independent by design
Advisory and audit are structurally separated. Ethara never audits a site it has advised — accredited audits of your suppliers are delivered through independent, Sedex-approved Audit Affiliate Companies. Your program’s credibility depends on that line, so it’s built in.
