• The Australian Government should develop a federal victims compensation scheme for victims of trafficking, slavery and slavery-like conditions, including children. • Australian Governments should achieve consistency between surrogacy laws and include criteria directed at the suitability of intended parents. If international surrogacy arrangements are to be permitted, such checks should also form part of the regulation of those arrangements. The Australian Government should: o continue to engage with the Hague Conference on Private International Law in relation to the potential for an international convention dealing with the regulation of parentage and surrogacy o engage with countries where Australians enter into surrogacy arrangements, for the purpose of determining whether bilateral agreement can be reached on the regulation of parentage and surrogacy o undertake a systematic review of the structure and enforcement of regulatory regimes in countries where Australians enter into surrogacy arrangements. • The Australian Government should consider including child marriage in definitions of family and domestic violence for the purposes of data collection, monitoring and access to service delivery, including prevention programs. • The Australian Government should consider reviewing the Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) to eliminate any exception to the minimum age of marriage of 18. • Australian Governments should harmonise laws that criminalise female genital mutilation, and conduct awareness education for health professionals and communities. 32
