Dear Ms MacDonald
I refer to your email below.
Our laws
The Australian Human Rights Commission has the power to investigate and conciliate complaints about:
discrimination because of a person’s race, sex, pregnancy, marital status, age or disability as well as sexual harassment in specific areas of public life, such as, employment, education, providing you with goods and services and accommodation;
- racial hatred that takes place in public;
- discrimination in employment because of a person’s criminal record, sexual preference, trade union activity, religion, political opinion or social origin; or
- breaches of human rights by the Commonwealth of Australia only.
From the information you have provided it is not clear that the Commission’s Investigation and Conciliation Section can help you with this matter.
However the NSW Ombudsman may be able to assist you. Its website is www.ombo.nsw.gov.au
You may wish to get some free legal advice or assistance from Legal Aid of NSW (www.lawaccess.nsw.gov.au) or your nearest community legal centre (http://www.clcnsw.org.au) with respect to your options.
Should you have any further queries, or wish to discuss further, please advise by return email or call our Complaint Information Line on 1300 656 419.
Regards
Lani Westcott
