Empowering ethical business for our common future
At SlaveCheck, we’re driving a global movement to end modern slavery by combining innovative technology with a purpose-driven mission. Learn how our dual approach—through a for-profit compliance platform and the SlaveCheck Foundation—empowers businesses to lead in ethical practices and contribute to a future where modern slavery is eradicated.
The pervasive challenge of modern slavery
Modern slavery is a complex, system-level issue embedded in global supply chains, affecting millions of lives. Despite growing awareness and regulatory efforts, traditional approaches have failed to address the root causes. To truly make an impact, we must confront the broader challenges that perpetuate this hidden crisis, including the question of who bears the cost of change.
Hidden in Plain Sight
Modern slavery is deeply entrenched in everyday products and services, from electronics to clothing, often concealed within extended supply chains that lack transparency.
Inadequate Compliance Tools
Traditional compliance systems are often limited to Tier-1 suppliers, failing to provide the visibility needed to identify and address risks in deeper layers of the supply chain.
Fragmented Regulations
Global legislation is evolving rapidly, but the fragmented nature of these regulations makes it challenging for businesses to stay compliant and ensure continuous improvement.
Who Pays?
The responsibility and cost of eliminating modern slavery are often passed down the supply chain, leading to resistance and inadequate action. A shared, systematic approach is needed to distribute the burden fairly and effectively.
Recognising the problem to driving global change
SlaveCheck was born out of a deep understanding of the systemic nature of modern slavery and the limitations of existing solutions. Our founders recognised that traditional approaches were not enough to tackle the complexity of this issue, which is embedded in global supply chains and perpetuated by fragmented regulations. We knew that a new, more comprehensive solution was needed—one that would not only ensure compliance but also drive meaningful change.
Recognising the Gap
In the face of growing global regulations and increasing scrutiny, it became clear that existing compliance tools were failing to provide the transparency and accountability needed to eradicate modern slavery. The founding team, with decades of experience in system-level solutions, saw the need for a more robust approach.
Developing a Dual Approach
We realised that eliminating modern slavery required both a for-profit and a for-purpose strategy. The SlaveCheck Business Compliance Platform was designed to empower companies to lead in ethical business practices by providing the tools needed to achieve complete supply chain transparency and stay ahead of evolving regulations. Simultaneously, the SlaveCheck Foundation was established to support civil society groups in gathering in-field data and intelligence, driving grassroots efforts to identify and eliminate slavery.
Building Collective Intelligence
Our solution leverages Collective Intelligence—integrating human expertise with AI-powered insights—to offer a comprehensive, real-time view of supply chains. This innovative approach allows businesses to not only meet compliance requirements but to continuously improve their operations, making a lasting impact on the fight against modern slavery.
Leading a Global Movement
Today, SlaveCheck is at the forefront of the global movement to eradicate modern slavery. By combining cutting-edge technology with a purpose-driven mission, we empower businesses, civil society groups, and governments to work together towards a future where modern slavery is no longer a hidden crisis, but a problem of the past.

Conceived, funded and led the SlaveCheck initiative since its inception in 2018
Tim is a seasoned civil engineer and entrepreneur with a 30-year track record of solving complex, system-level problems using innovative technology. He left construction in 1990 when the NSW Government recruited him to see whether it was possible to use technology to reduce the $600 million annual cost of pothole patching across New South Wales. Within five years, Tim’s team halved these costs while improving road conditions.
This success taught Tim the power of technology to address large-scale, system-level problems and led to him founding Infrastructure Control Services (ICS) in 1995, which grew into a global consultancy, employing over 200 people, completing projects in 33 countries and listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1999 as ICSGlobal Ltd [ASX:ICS].
Tim remained CEO for 11 years, developing Thelma (www.thelma.com.au) a SaaS-based 'medical banking' claims and payments clearinghouse for Australian hospitals.
In 2018 - alerted to the spiralling modern slavery numbers around the world - Tim founded SlaveCheck, drawing on his experience creating impactful solutions to address the system-level problem of modern slavery. Tim's commitment and leadership at SlaveCheck – including his funding of the initiative since its inception in 2018 – demonstrates his commitment to leading positive global change.
