Equal Employment Opportunity (2010)

Overview

Everybody has the right to be treated fairly. If you feel that you are being discriminated against, you have the right to take action. But do you know what steps to take? The Human Rights laws recognise and promote everyone's right to a fair go by making discrimination and harassment - based on a number of personal characteristics - unlawful.

This course is designed to help you and others in your workplace demonstrate and encourage behaviours and workplace practices that support a culture that is fair, equitable and free from discrimination. In this course, you will familiarise yourself with the behaviours that constitute discrimination and harassment in the workplace and, most importantly, what you should do if you or a colleague should be exposed to any discriminatory behaviour. This course is of a general nature only and does not take into account your individual circumstances.

This course has been written in partnership with and endorsed by Clayton Utz, a leading Australian law firm.
