Epic IT Pty Ltd (ABN 40 121 238 293) values human rights and holds itself to high standards of ethical, professional, and legal conduct. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in any form, whether in our own operations or anywhere in our supply chain.

This policy sets out how we think about, and work to prevent, the risk of modern slavery. It reflects our approach to the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and should be read alongside our related internal policies and our Privacy Policy.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to make clear that Epic IT will not tolerate modern slavery in our business or our supply chain, and to outline the steps we take, and continue to develop, to prevent, detect, and address it. It also helps our people understand their role in upholding that commitment.

Scope

This policy applies to everyone who works for or with Epic IT, including employees, contractors, consultants, suppliers, and business partners. Everyone acting on behalf of Epic IT is expected to read, understand, and comply with it.

What modern slavery means

Modern slavery, as defined by the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), is a serious crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It covers a range of exploitative practices, including:

• Human trafficking
• Slavery, servitude, and forced labour
• Debt bondage
• Deceptive recruiting for labour or services
• Forced marriage
• The worst forms of child labour

We recognise that modern slavery harms individuals, distorts markets, and damages the communities in which we operate. Tackling it is part of acting ethically and with integrity.

Our commitment

Epic IT is committed to ensuring that modern slavery has no place in our business, our supply chain, or the relationships we hold with contractors and partners. We work towards this commitment through measures that include:

• Maintaining wages, salaries, and employment conditions for our staff that meet Australian workplace laws
• Reviewing our business from time to time to identify the areas of greatest modern slavery risk and taking preventative action where appropriate
• Encouraging suppliers and partners to hold, or adopt, policies that prevent them from contributing to modern slavery, and working to reflect those expectations in our contracts over time
• Helping relevant staff understand modern slavery risk and raise concerns with management
• Building modern slavery considerations into our supplier onboarding and procurement process, particularly for higher-risk suppliers
• Taking appropriate action where a concern is identified, which may include working with a supplier to address the cause or, where necessary, ending the relationship

What modern slavery can look like

No one working for or with Epic IT may engage in any practice that amounts to modern slavery. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Using forced or compulsory labour in the performance of any work
• Using misleading or fraudulent practices during recruitment, such as failing to disclose basic information about a role in a format and language the candidate can understand
• Misrepresenting wages, benefits, work location, living conditions, costs charged to the worker, or the hazardous nature of work
• Using recruiters that do not comply with the labour laws of the country where recruitment takes place
• Charging applicants or candidates recruitment fees
• Failing to provide a written employment contract or required work document where the law or a contract requires one

Our risk areas

Supply chain. As a managed IT services provider, our supply chain is relatively straightforward. We procure hardware, software licensing, and cloud services from established distributors and vendors, the majority of whom operate in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. These are regulated markets with their own modern slavery and labour obligations, which lowers the baseline risk. We recognise that some technology hardware is manufactured in higher-risk regions. Where we identify a supplier located in, or sourcing from, a higher-risk country, we may ask them to complete a modern slavery supplier questionnaire so we can better understand the risk and the steps in place to manage it.

Our workforce. We assess the risk of modern slavery within our directly employed workforce as low. The Australian labour market is highly regulated, and our staff are employed under conditions that meet or exceed Australian workplace law. Our reporting channels, described below, give employees and other stakeholders a clear and safe way to raise concerns without fear of recrimination.

Awareness

We aim to help our people recognise the signs of modern slavery and understand how to respond. Where relevant, staff involved in procurement, supplier management, and recruitment are given guidance suited to their role, so the people closest to the risk are better placed to act on it.

Reporting concerns

Anyone who suspects that Epic IT, or any party connected to Epic IT, has breached this policy or is involved in modern slavery should report it as soon as possible to info@epicit.com.au.

Reports are taken seriously and handled confidentially. No one will be penalised for raising a genuine concern in good faith, even if it later turns out to be mistaken.

Breach of this policy

Any breach of this policy is treated seriously. Conduct that contravenes it may be regarded as misconduct and can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Individuals may also face criminal or civil liability for breaching the Act.

Governance and review

Epic IT reviews its policies and procedures to maintain sound governance around our modern slavery commitments. Management reviews and updates this policy from time to time to keep it current with our business and our obligations.
