A Sydney private school is facing federal court after an education union accuses it of illegally classifying staff as volunteers—potentially triggering back-pay demands of thousands. The case follows a parliamentary inquiry into allegations of wage denial, extreme control over staff, and even forced student-staff living arrangements. The NSW Anti-Slavery Commissioner has urged criminal investigation into possible forced labor, while the headmaster denies any wrongdoing. Former staff and students describe coercive environments, with some saying they feared repercussions for refusing requests. As the inquiry continues and may soon resume, the spotlight intensifies on whether this institution crossed into modern slavery territory—and what that means for regulation across similar organizations.
