Age and Disability Discrimination The Disability Discrimination Act and Age Discrimination Act aim to protect particularly vulnerable people in our community. In this session, Marrickville Legal Centre explores how people may be treated less favourably on the grounds of a disability or their age in many areas of life, including employment and access to goods and services. The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) investigates complaints of discrimination and helps the parties to discuss resolution of complaints. This seminar informs participants about current issues in discrimination law, and shows them how to support clients who may have discrimination complaints and how complaints are resolved through conciliation. |
