[7707] Wimmera Health Care Group has begun to implement modern slavery clauses and schedules into relevant policies, contracts and procurement activities to assist in the assessment and reporting of each suppliers modern slavery risks
[7707] Mandatory Criterion Five: Describe how the reporting entity assesses the effectiveness of actions being taken to assess and address modern slavery risks
[7707] Wimmera Health Care Group has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in reduced capacity to implement mechanisms to assess the effectiveness of actions taken to address our modern slavery risks
[11282] Relationships with significant suppliers and supplier contracts are managed by the Nexus Commercial Director who gives significant consideration to the reputation, consistency and quality of those suppliers before entering into a commercial arrangement with them
[11282] Nexus strives to develop fair, constructive and transparent win-win partnerships with its key suppliers, with collaboration, respect and a commitment to excellence all being part of the Nexus Core Values
[11282] In entering into preferred supplier arrangements (whether contractual or not), Nexus requests information regarding the modern slavery processes and procedures followed by those suppliers and makes it clear that this is of importance in any tender process
[11282] We also ensure that negotiations do not focus on price above all else, and that long term partnerships are valued more highly than short term commercial gain
[11282] As such, we are seeking to minimise the risk that our own conduct might inadvertently contribute to modern slavery practices
[11282] Employee Engagement Nexus has a robust corporate governance framework including group Purpose and Values, a grievance policy and a Whistleblower Policy
[11282] In addition, Nexus conducts a regular employee engagement survey and patient satisfaction surveys cover 100% of our patients
[11282] Our website invites feedback and queries from the wider community and we also engage and consult with the community on various matters in accordance with our hospital accreditation requirements
[13833] We report our actions and engagements on human rights annually
[13833] Reporting We understand that the nature of modern slavery means it is often hidden in plain sight because of the inability of victims and those around them to speak up and report on their circumstances
[13833] At Avery Dennison we also have a non-retaliation policy that allows our employees to feel comfortable speaking up about concerns knowing we prohibit retaliation against anyone who, in good faith, reports a potential violation of the law or our Code
[13833] There are many avenues available for reporting including to line managers, Human Resources, Internal Audit, our internal Law Department or anonymously to our Business Conduct Guideline using toll-free hotline which is operated by an independent third party
[13833] These avenues enable employees to confidentially report issues and concerns
[13833] These reporting avenues allow us to understand whether the actions we are taking in this space are making a meaningful difference in relation to awareness, risks, due diligence and remediation
[13833] Avery Dennison Materials Pty Ltd 4 Duigan Drive, Moorabbin Airport VIC 3194 Phone: 03 9271 0300 ABN 92 007 706 934 Training We have conducted online Values and Ethics training for all staff each quarter in this recent reporting period
[14402] RISK ASSESSMENT Wiley operates the majority of its business within Australia and New Zealand
[14402] These jurisdictions operate with mature legal frameworks and have been assessed as low risk in the Global Slavery Index 2018 Study
[14402] When operating within Thailand or Malaysia the inherent risk of Modern Slavery is assessed as being elevated due to the impacts of local conflicts and poor governance
[14402] As a construction business, Wiley recognises the industry is considered to have an inherently higher risk for potential modern slavery within its operations and supply chain
[14402] This is due to the reliance on manual work, multi-layered sub-contractor arrangements, and the complexity of local and international supply chains
[14402] Common high-risk materials used within construction include timber, bricks, glass, rubber, piping, cement, carpeting and tiles
[14402] Other potential areas can include electronics, process equipment, labour, security and cleaning services
[14402] Wiley also recognises the potential impact of COVID-19 on global supply chains and the increased risk of modern slavery across those networks
[7707] Wimmera Health Care Group recognises the importance of this activity and will endeavour to introduce assessment mechanisms in the FY2021-22 reporting period
[7707] In the interim, Wimmera Health Care Group will engage with HSV to understand the effectiveness of the assessments they have conducted
[7707] Mandatory Criterion Six: Describe the process of consultation with any entities the reporting entity owns or controls Not applicable Wimmera Health Care Group does not own or control any other entities as applicable under the Act
[7707] Mandatory Criterion Seven: Any other relevant information
[7707] In order to support the implementation of the Act within health services, HSV has developed a toolkit to assist with meeting the requirements under the Act
[7707] The toolkit contains
[7707] A modern slavery plan to support the implementation of the governance structures, policies, processes and risk registers needed to underpin a successful modern slavery framework
[7707] Advice on implementing a modern slavery policy
[11282] These provide a number of channels to encourage employees, suppliers or members of the public to report any risk of modern slavery of which they may be aware
[11282] To date, no reports have been received
[11282] Hiring of staff is overseen by Nexus Chief People and Culture Officer and Nexus uses reputable employment agencies including for casual staff
[11282] All employees are issued with Employment Contracts and an Employee Handbook which include these policies
[11282] As healthcare workers they are employed under Modern Awards or Enterprise Agreements and they are required to show proof of Australian residency as well as any relevant qualifications (eg nursing)
[11282] Nexus Hospitals continuously reviews wages to ensure they are in line with Awards and market conditions and employees may be members of a union which also offers protection of workers rights
[11282] Modern Slavery Training Nexus continues to provide in-house Modern Slavery training to its corporate and hospital leadership team as well as those employees responsible for procurement within its hospital network
[11282] This training covers modern slavery risks and also focused on areas of particular risk within our hospitals
[13833] This training covers elements of human rights and our supplier due diligence processes as well as antitrust, social media, conflict of interest and other related topics that help us maintain a culture of ethical governance
[13833] We regularly train our employees on our policies and procedures otherwise
[13833] Our Law Department conducts instructor-led training sessions for staff periodically
[13833] We also develop and launch three Values and Ethics Talkabout toolkits each year, to enable managers to engage in meaningful discussion with their teams regarding topics from our Code
[13833] We also provide suppliers with training in regions and countries that are considered high risk based on their scores on the Transparency Internationals Corruption Perception Index and the International Labour Organisations assessments of child and forced labour
[13833] Through this training we can keep a finger on the pulse of the level of awareness in our organisation and whether the actions we are taking in this space are effective
[13833] Supplier Standards Our Employment Standards are mandatory and apply to all of our business units around the world
[13833] These standards are mirrored within our Global Supplier Standards which have been reviewed and updated as recently as 2021
[14402] OUR SUPPLY CHAIN Wiley operates a multi-tiered supply chain that includes sub-contractors, suppliers, vendors, consultants, and JV Partners
[14402] Wileys business strategy is to partner with businesses and embrace our core values and exemplify a genuine dedication to ethical and honest dealings
[14402] Wiley Multi-layered Supply Chain Subcontractor Offshore Suppliers Local Suppliers Employees Labour Hire Material Sup- plies and labour Raw Materials Supply Producers Raw Materials Wiley
[14402] Due Diligence and Supply Partner Prequalification Processes All supply partners are subject to a rigorous prequalification and due diligence process during onboarding and are subject to post qualification review at periodic intervals
[14402] This process helps us select business partners that follow workplace standards and business practices that are consistent with those of Wiley
[14402] Our supply partner selection process includes prequalification questionnaires and information requirements to assess the competence and compliance of the partner with legal requirements, health and safety standards, environmental requirements, and professional competence
[14402] Suppliers are asked specifically about compliance with Modern Slavery Requirements and whether they are aware of instances or concerns of modern slavey and human trafficking in their business or supply chain
[14402] Where certain supply partners are assessed as having a greater compliance risk additional due diligence may be conducted that includes physical visits and inspection by Wiley staff, the application of industry references, and searches of third-party information sources
[7707] A modern slavery risk register to capture and address the key modern slavery risks that a health service might cause, contribute or be directly linked to
[7707] A modern slavery risk assessment tool, including advice on modern slavery risk assessments, supplier questionnaires for Information to Supply (ITS) due diligence and incumbent suppliers and advice on how to interpret questionnaire results
[7707] A modern slavery fact sheet to facilitate staff training; and
[7707] Supplier contract considerations, including the addition of modern slavery clauses in contracts
[7707] The rollout and implementation of the toolkit will support health services to conduct their own risk assessment, due diligence and remediation activities
[7707] Grampians Health intends to implement the toolkit in the coming statement period
[7707] Closing Statement
[7707] Wimmera Health Care Group has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in reduced capacity to implement the planned strategies in this reporting period
[11282] There are many opportunities for discussion which encouraged further awareness and identification of modern slavery risks and the impact that modern consumerism might be having on this
[11282] All employees are were encouraged to report any concerns to the leadership team, either directly or in accordance with existing whistleblower policy which provides confidentiality and protection to the whistleblower
[11282] This training will be enhanced, repeated and offered to a wider audience on an ongoing basis, in order to continuously improve knowledge in this area and hence the chances of other risks being uncovered that we may not currently be aware of
[11282] Feedback from these training sessions indicated that the training had been clear, relevant and informative
[11282] Supplier Audit refresh In the previous reporting period, Nexus compiled a database of its top suppliers by turnover and the nature of each suppliers business
[11282] During this reporting period, Nexus added to and refined this information as part of its efforts to continuously improve the assessment of potential modern slavery risks in its operations and supply chains
[13833] Our Global Supplier Standards detail the best practices and ethical behaviour we expect from our suppliers
[13833] We also strive to hold suppliers responsible for ensuring that any sub-contractors that produce goods or services for us meet these standards, including our requirement that suppliers do not use child labour or forced labour; provide their employees with a safe and healthy workplace; comply with all local environmental, health and safety, and corruption and bribery laws
[13833] They also speak to compensation, work hours, discrimination, human rights, freedom of association and disciplinary processes
[13833] Our Global Supplier Standards are supplemented by our Social Compliance Supplementary Standards which describe supplier obligations with regard to, among other things, forced labour, child labour, compensation, hours of labour, discrimination/human rights, freedom of association, disciplinary processes, health and safety and environmental standards in more detail, the document spanning 62 pages in total
[13833] Our Social Compliance Supplementary Standards were updated as recently as 2022
[13833] This document utilises case study examples set in different countries to help suppliers understand how they should meet our standards around the world
[13833] We have clear expectations of the way we deal with suppliers and partners and the ethical standards that we hold suppliers to
[13833] Supplier and Subcontractor Selection We have a Global Outsource Supplier Approval Procedure that we utilise prior to engaging subcontractors to ensure their compliance with our Global Supplier Standards and Social averydennison.com A Subsidiary of Avery Dennison Corporation, a company with limited liability in the United States of America
[14402] Risk may be determined based upon the location of the supply partner and the type of goods or service supplied
[14402] Adherence to our Policies and Standards As a condition of doing business, Wiley requires compliance with our Professional Standards which sets for the minimum requirements of conduct expected of our supply partners
[14402] These Standards apply to all third parties that provide goods or services to our organisation
[14402] STRATEGIES AND ACTIONS TAKEN During the year the following activities were undertaken as we evolve our approach to Modern Slavery
[14402] These activities included
[14402] Further refining pre-qualification processes applied over supply partners
[14402] Conducting training for employees on modern slavery
[14402] Developing remote methods for physically assessing site and supplier locations via
[7707] Notwithstanding, we have aligned our Procurement policies with the Modern Slavery Act and recognise the importance of identifying and bringing modern slavery practices to an end
[7707] From 1st November 2021, Wimmera Health Care Group has amalgamated to become Grampians Health and is committed to working with its supply chain to eliminate these practices
[7707] This statement was endorsed by the Leadership Team of Grampians Health (Wimmera) on 14th December 2021
[7707] Modern Slavery Statement Financial Year 2020 - 2021 Final Statement
[7707] Introduction The Australian Government introduced the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) (the Act) which requires certain entities to report on the risks of modern slavery in their operations and supply chains and actions to address those risks The Act commenced operation on 1 January 2019
[7707] The Act requires reporting entities subject to the Act, to produce an annual modern slavery statement
[7707] This statement is prepared for Financial Year 2020 2021
[7707] Identify the reporting entity Wimmera Health Care Group ABN 21 203 855 611
[11282] During FY22, Nexus refreshed the exercise it completed in FY20 with Fair Supply to identify whether there had been any material change in that baseline measure of Nexus exposure to modern slavery
[11282] This analysis was performed on our top 50 suppliers that represented around 50% of total annual spend (noting the remaining 50% of spend contained a long tail of suppliers with immaterial spend and low strategic significance to Nexus)
[11282] Fair Supply uses a global multi-regional input-output (MRIO) database, which holds information about economic supply chains and draws data from a range of data sets such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Eurostat, United Nations Statistics Division
[11282] This enables the risk of modern slavery to be estimated to tier ten in the supply chains
[11282] These data sets are combined to provide an estimation of modern slavery risk exposure based on industry sub-sector and geography
[11282] Following comparison of the current supplier listing with this exercise, Nexus is satisfied that the results of this review are materially the same as in the previous reporting period, and confirm that Nexus is focusing its efforts in the best way possible, being on health care supplies
[11282] This sub-industry has the highest risk profile for Nexus and also represents the largest proportion of our spend compared to other sub-industries
[11282] Compared to the prior analysis, health care distributors are considered lower risk
[13833] Avery Dennison Materials Pty Ltd 4 Duigan Drive, Moorabbin Airport VIC 3194 Phone: 03 9271 0300 ABN 92 007 706 934 Compliance Supplementary Standards detailed above
[13833] Suppliers cannot become an approved supplier until they pass through this procedure and meet the relevant criteria which in some cases includes passing a social compliance audit
[13833] We also conduct a program for subcontractors to ensure they continue to comply with our Global Supplier Standards and Social Compliance Supplementary Standards
[13833] Through the program we provide subcontractors with information and training to help them understand how to comply with our standards
[13833] We have third-party auditors that actually visit subcontractor facilities on our behalf and inspect living conditions in employee dormitories, wages and working hours, employee insurance coverage, fire safety etc
[13833] We have a suspension process for subcontractors found to be non-compliant with critical criteria such as child labour and fire safety
[13833] Where subcontractors are found to be non-compliant in less critical areas, we work collaboratively to help them raise standards
[13833] Audits We conduct third party audits of our company-owned facilities and tier 1 subcontractor facilities on an ongoing basis which include a focus on fundamental human rights

[11282] Nexus recognises that we still have work to do to improve the effectiveness of our modern slavery processes and procedures, and obtain more objective information from our suppliers to assess their own processes around this issue
[11282] No instances of modern slavery have been identified during the reporting period
[13833] We also conduct these periodic audits on the basis of their risk profile taking into account factors like past audit performance and the prevailing labour conditions in the country where the facility is located
[13833] This due diligence enables us to assess the effectiveness of the actions we are taking in this space
[13833] Our audit findings are captured and we undertake remedial action where appropriate, making any changes necessary to fully comply with our policies
[13833] We tend to undertake upwards of 100 audits each year
