PERSONAL INJURY
Discrimination in the Workplace
Discrimination can be either direct or indirect. There are laws in Australia which prohibit it and protect you from discrimination. Often workers can be discriminated at work and be unaware that they may have rights available to them.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR A CLASS ACTION?
- Race – that is, a person who is treated unfavourably on the basis of their race, descent, nationality, ethnic origin and/or colour have been discriminated against.
- Sex – a person treated unfavourably because of their gender, sexual identity, family responsibilities and marital status have been discriminated against.
- Age – a person treated unfavourably because they were older than other people and therefore treated unfairly have been discriminated against.
