Now this is a telling stat from our partners and

70% of consumers prefer brands that pair social impact with excellence.
> That is huge!

I (Sally Irwin) remember 12years ago thinking how can I create a business that does good, helping others and lifting human rights values. It was difficult for people to grasp and I thought it would take at least 20years or more.

This very new concept back then, is now at 70%.

Great news!

We are now mid fitting out a new flagship ‘business for good’ space in Sydney to help the 70% learn more about brands that “pair social commitment with functional excellence”. ALL the brands in this space are putting people ahead of profit, so this is worth getting behind.

If you are one of the 70% of CONSUMERS, follow our page to stay up to date for our opening. Save this post to come back to in two months when we open.

If you are one of the BRANDS that want to join our flagship offering, be it with a pop up store, a workshop, or become a supplier, send us a DM for an EOI.

If you want to be one of our FOUNDING investors into the future of ‘business for good’ and have your name or company listed on our in store board, shouting your values and aligning with a legacy for the future; jump on this link to find out more:

EOFY giving that strengthens your reporting and your culture.

If your business donates from a business budget, it can support:

* A clear signal of company values to stakeholders
* Practical evidence for social impact and modern slavery-related reporting
* A meaningful conversation internally about ethical leadership

TFH also trains businesses to go beyond compliance. In 2025, TFH trained 27 corporations and reached 16,143 people with modern slavery awareness and capability-building.

People with lived experience don’t just have stories. They have expertise.

This week we saw that expertise in action.

A survivor advisor challenged assumptions that seemed perfectly reasonable on paper.

But those assumptions would have created barriers for the very people the policy was designed to support.

That is why survivor-informed guidance matters.

Not because it is the right thing to do.

Because it produces better decisions.

People who have experienced exploitation often understand risks, barriers and unintended consequences that others cannot see.

If we want better outcomes, we need more than consultation.

We need meaningful participation.

How does your organisation ensure lived experience influences decision-making?

Partner with survivor voices to transform your ethical business strategy. Move beyond compliance to create a real impact. Find out more.

Lived expertise brings nuance that textbooks and compliance decks often miss.”

This is one of the most important reasons survivor-informed training is different.

👉🏼 It helps teams understand how grooming can look like kindness.

👉🏼How debt can shape silence.

👉🏼 How control may be psychological as much as physical.

👉🏼 How recovery is rarely neat or linear.

Without this understanding, staff can misread trauma responses as dishonesty, resistance or disengagement.

Good training builds confidence without pretending every organisation should become a specialist recovery service.

I feel deeply honoured to receive an OAM for service to the community, particularly to survivors of modern slavery.

While this recognition has my name on it, the work has never been mine alone. It belongs to the courageous survivors who continue to rebuild their lives, and to the staff, volunteers, supporters and partners who walk alongside them.

I hope this honour helps shine a brighter light on modern slavery in Australia and encourages more people to join us in supporting survivors as they rebuild their lives.

If you fund this work, you fund safety. And you fund changed lives!

TFH receives no government funding, which means TFH can provide flexible, trauma-informed support that is often impossible under restrictive funded models.

The trade-off is real: doing this well costs more.
The payoff is also real: survivors supported with dignity and consistency.

EOFY giving can help sustain survivor recovery in Australia. Tax deductible!

Human rights cannot become a bargaining chip.

The United States has proposed an additional 12.5% tariff on Australian goods, claiming Australia has failed to adequately prevent imports made with forced labour. The proposal is part of a wider action involving 60 economies. It is still under consultation, with written comments due by 6 July 2026.

We agree that forced labour demands stronger action. The International Labour Organization estimates that 27.6 million people are trapped in forced labour worldwide. Illegal profits reach US$236 billion each year. Behind every number is a person whose freedom has been taken away.

Yet tariffs applied across whole countries are a blunt tool. They risk turning a grave human rights abuse into a trade argument, while failing to target the goods, sectors and business practices where exploitation is occurring.

Australia’s Anti-Slavery Commissioner Chris Evans accused Trump of using a serious human rights issue as a “play thing” in a broader trade war, undermining genuine anti-slavery efforts.

His concern deserves attention.

Australia should also resist the temptation to become defensive. Our Modern Slavery Act was a meaningful first step, but reporting alone is not enough. We need laws that lead to change for workers, stronger consequences when businesses fail to act, and a forced labour import ban that targets goods linked to exploitation.

For business leaders, there is work to do now:

1. Ask where the greatest forced labour risks sit in your supply chain, including beyond your direct suppliers.
2. Listen to survivor-informed advice before choosing your next action.

Modern slavery is too serious to be used as political cover. It is also too serious for Australia to settle for minimum compliance.

Small, practical steps taken with care can protect people. And one of those small steps can simply be to save this post or share it with a leader who can act!

What does impact look like after trauma?

Impact is not a slogan. It’s outcomes over time.

In 2025, TFH reports 78 survivors employed and 105 survivors living independently.

That’s what ethical investment can help unlock: confidence, stability, and real pathways forward.

Compliance-only training often has a narrow goal: reduce risk to the organisation.

That goal is understandable. Boards want assurance. Executives want clarity. Teams want to know their responsibilities.

But survivor-informed training expands the goal. It asks: how do we reduce harm to people while strengthening the organisation’s response?

That shift changes everything.
It changes how concerns are escalated. It changes whether a response is safe, respectful and credible.
