Discrimination

Discrimination is when you are treated differently or unfairly because of a characteristic about you, such as your:

• race
• sex
• age
• religious belief or activity
• impairment
• parenthood.

It is against the law to do this in certain areas of life, such as your workplace, and when accessing goods, services and facilities. Read the Anti-Discrimination Act 1992.
