Discrimination, It's Still against the law

The Discrimination. It's Still against the Law campaign has been developed by the Workplace Rights Advocate and the Equal Opportunity Commission Victoria to ensure that people are aware of their equal opportunity rights at work.

Postcard Campaign

The Workplace Rights Advocate and the Equal Opportunity Commission Victoria have launched a postcard campaign to ensure people are aware of their equal opportunity rights at work.

Recent federal changes to industrial relations have caused confusion, and the Advocate and Commission are both concerned that some people may believe that they can be sacked for no good reason.

Victorian equal opportunity laws apply to all Victorian businesses, regardless of their size. They prohibit employers from sacking workers because of their sex, age, pregnancy, disability, parental or carer status, just to name a few of the protected personal characteristics.

Employers must treat their workers fairly and provide a workplace that is free from discrimination and sexual harassment.

The Discrimination. It's Still against the Law campaign compromises three postcards, each aimed at a different life stage. The cards, which can be downloaded from this page, highlight whom a person can contact if they believe their rights have been breached.

One of the key tasks of the Equal Opportunity Commission Victoria Commission's is to educate people about their equal opportunity rights and responsibilities. Part of charter of the Workplace Rights Advocate is to promote fairness in the workplace.
