Manslaughter and illegal in the same sentence can cause some contradictions. Manslaughter, it should be noted, is a mitigated form of murder. Manslaughter exists as an alternative verdict to murder always! Manslaughter, however, is a criminal offence which under the constitution is a STATE matter not federal. So it is wrong to ask if it is illegal in Australia when each state has laws that vary. But yes manslaughter does suggest that there is some culpable wrong that warrants punishment and is therefore illegal.

Is manslaughter illegal in NSW?
Manslaughter is not always illegal... if you have a statutory defence available. This, however is becoming increasingly rare. Manslaughter is a less culpable offence to murder. It suggests that there were circumstances that mitigate the wrong that has been done, yet there is still a punishment warranted. The only time that any form of homicide (including murder and manslaughter) is not punishable is when a legitimate legal or 'statutory' defence is available to the defendant which is successfully pursued. Manslaughter can occur through either Criminal Negligence, or through a dangerous and unlawful act. It is very complex but this is the simplest answer. The act causing death MUST BE voluntary, that is that the defendant had minimal level of control over bodily movements (as found in the case of DPP v Ryan). If it is involuntary - the defendant will be acquitted.
