Our suppliers and contractors

Mater works with an extensive range of contractors and suppliers of goods, services and equipment. Alongside our growing network of procurement partnerships — where transparency, sustainability and social responsibility are key — Mater delivers on its vision of providing access to world-class health services and information.

We expect our suppliers and contractors who conduct business with Mater to share our Values and to comply with Mater’s Supplier Code of Conduct.

Mitigating modern slavery

As part of our mission to protect the vulnerable, Mater is committed to meeting social responsibility goals and expects the highest ethical practices and professional standards from its people as well as its procurement network.

This starts with suppliers and contractors investigating, identifying and mitigating modern slavery risks across their operations and supply chain, to provide Mater with a high level of confidence that they are aligned on our Values. Download and read a copy of Mater’s annual Modern Slavery Statement.

We encourage Mater’s suppliers and contractors to educate their organisations on how to comply with the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth), understand modern slavery risks, develop a relevant risk management program and implement actions.

Mater works closely and collaboratively with the Australian Catholic Anti-Slavery Taskforce, Archdiocese Sydney and as a member of the Australian Catholic Antislavery Network (ACAN) to support and assist suppliers and contractors in complying with the Modern Slavery Act (Cth) 2018.
 

Mater encourages suppliers and contractors to visit the ACAN e-learning site to learn more and the GRC Solutions online store to purchase relevant training resources and information to implement in your business. You can contact Mater’s Modern Slavery Liaison Officer at procurement@mater.org.au for further information and guidance.
