    Grounds to making discrimination complaints

    Whether a person has grounds to make a discrimination complaint, depends on several questions:

    • Is the discrimination of a type that is prohibited by law?
    • Did the discrimination occur in an area covered by the law?
    • Does the conduct fall under any of the permitted exemptions?
    • Is the complaint within the time limit?
    • Has the person suffered some detriment (harm)?

    These factors are considered in the following pages. If a person has grounds for a complaint they also need to consider which agency is best to handle the complaint.
