Human trafficking in Australia is illegal under Division 270 of the Criminal Code. The amendment to the Code, made in 1999, implemented the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, to which Australia is a party. The extent of human trafficking in Australia is difficult to quantify. However, it has been estimates that the number ranges between 300 and 1000 a year. However, the number of cases actually brought to trial is very small, and there has been only one conviction for human trafficking. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime lists Australia as one of 21 trafficking destination countries in the high destination category.
