How do I make a discrimination complaint in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

You can complain to the Australian Human Rights Commission or your state or territory anti-discrimination body.

Complaints are usually resolved through conciliation, which is free and confidential.

If not resolved, you may be able to take your case to court or a tribunal. Time limits apply.

Workplace discrimination may also be covered by the Fair Work Act, often with shorter deadlines.
