NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner’s Advisory Panel

The NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner’s Advisory Panel provides advice and counsel to the Commissioner, helping him ensure the sustainable and inclusive implementation of his Strategic Plan 2023-2026: Working Together for Real Freedom. 

Aligning with the Commissioner's commitments to centre survivors at the heart of policy, program design and delivery efforts, currently one in five members of the full Advisory Panel brings expertise from lived experience of modern slavery or related issues.

All members of the Advisory Panel are entitled to be paid for their time and expertise and have access to counselling and other supports.  They serve in a personal capacity and commit to the confidentiality of the Panel's deliberations and engagement with the Commissioner and his team.
