About the Event
Modern slavery and supply chain risk are often viewed through a compliance lens, but effective governance requires organisations to move beyond checklist obligations and consider the broader human, operational and reputational risks across their supply chains.
This breakfast event will explore what that shift means in practice for government agencies and the professionals who support them, including risk, procurement and governance teams. Through expert insights and discussion, attendees will consider how to embed meaningful accountability, strengthen decision-making, and build more resilient and responsible supply chain practices across the public sector.
RMIA ACT Chapter invites you to join us for this important conversation and gain practical insights to support stronger, more responsible supply chain governance across the public sector.

Dannya Hu
Founder and Principal, Ocelot Advisory
Dannya is a risk nerd who has been doing all things risk for the past 15 years, whether that’s running risk workshops with Executive Boards, improving how risk is embedded in day-to-day decision-making, or running risk training. She’s passionate about ensuring risk management doesn’t turn into an exercise of creating paperwork and ticking the box. For something like modern slavery and supply chain risk, where most people aren’t subject matter experts, she focuses on helping people understand the ‘why’ and making sure it is genuinely understood and considered, rather than focusing on filling out the risk register.
