Hey mylinh! This is a great website for slavery in Australia - it's FULL of links to campaigns, articles, international documents, etc.
Here are some cases for you to investigate (some of these are fleshed out on the above website too :) )
Chee Mei Wong (2013)
Diveye Trivedi (2012) (trafficking)
Kam Tin Ho and Sarisa Leech (2009)
Zoltan Kovacs and Melita Kovacs (2010)
When I studied slavery, my strongest facts came from the ILO. They have brilliant resources available here - it's usually their estimated number of people in slavery that is taken as true.

Would the ILO and ICCPR be an international legal response or non legal?

It gets a little blurry here. What's a legal response in the international world isn't necessarily a legal response in Australia - y'know? So although the ILO is a tripartite of the UN, I can't find anywhere to say it is in legislation in Australia. I could be wrong, but I can't seem to find it.
The ICCPR is an international document that Australia has ratified. I would say that it's not so much the document that is the measure, but the ramifications of it. Like the way that NGOs or IGOs use the document to enforce/research breaches.
