Treated Unfairly Because of Who You Are?

It is unlawful in Australia to treat someone unfairly at work because of personal characteristics such as race, sex, disability, age, pregnancy, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected attributes. This includes being denied a job, demoted, harassed or dismissed based on who you are and not how you do your job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered unlawful discrimination at work?

It’s when someone is treated less favourably because of a protected characteristic such as race, gender, disability or age.

Is harassment the same as discrimination?

Harassment based on personal attributes is often a form of unlawful discrimination. Both may be addressed legally.

Do I need to prove intent?

No. Even unintentional conduct can be unlawful if it has a discriminatory effect.

What outcomes are possible from a claim?

Common outcomes include compensation, apologies, reinstatement or policy changes. A lawyer can help you identify realistic goals.

Is there a time limit to make a discrimination complaint?

Yes. Deadlines vary by body, but many require complaints within 6 or 12 months. It’s best to act as early as possible.
