Australian employment discrimination law is contained in legislation passed by the national Government of Australia which operates on a federal basis in all states and covers race, sex, age and disability. In employment related matters it is unlawful to treat one individual differently to another individual on the basis of sex, race, age or disability. This legislation covers all employees including those in executive and managerial positions. Employment discrimination claims are dealt with by the Australian Human Rights Commission which can order reinstatement or can award damages :-

Age Discrimination Act 2004

This employment discrimination legislation makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate on the basis of age and applies to all employees of any age. Unlawful age discrimination can be direct or indirect.

Sex Discrimination Act 1984

Unlawful behaviour under this employment discrimination law and under associated legislation including the Sex Discrimination Amendment (Pregnancy and Work) Act 2003 arises when a person is treated differently to another person on the basis of sex, marital status, pregnancy or potential pregnancy. Such unlawful behaviour can be either direct or obvious or can occur indirectly on a more subtle basis.

Racial Discrimination Act 1975

A claim arises for employment discrimination under this legislation if a person is treated differently on the basis race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. The law applies to employment, seeking employment, training, promotion, equal pay and conditions of employment. In addition the Race Hatred Act 1995 makes offensive behaviour based on racial hatred or racial vilification unlawful.

Disability Discrimination Act 1992

A mainstay of all employment discrimination law is to ensure that all employees have equal opportunities in the workplace. This statute makes it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of physical disability or mental disability and requires employers to take reasonable steps to accommodate those with disabilities.
