Anti-discrimination laws in Australia have been enacted at both federal and state/territory levels to outlaw discrimination and harassment in a range of areas of public life.[1] Federal law operate concurrently with state/territory laws, so both sets of laws must be followed.[1]
Complaints for unlawful discrimination under one of the federal laws can be made to the Australian Human Rights Commission under the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986.[1][3]
State and territory laws
Each state and territory has its own anti-discrimination law which operates alongside the federal laws:[1]
