$\"have$ Australians are protected from disability discrimination by the\u00a0Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth)<\/em>\u00a0and several pieces of state Anti-Discrimination legislation.\u00a0 You are protected from disability discrimination in several circumstances, including whilst at work, whilst seeking work, in the provision of goods and services and in an educational institution.<\/p>

You should never have to worry about losing your<\/strong>
benefits or income because of a physical or mental disability.<\/strong><\/p>

Disability discrimination<\/strong>\u00a0refers to unfavourable or less favourable treatment because of your disability.\u00a0 Disability includes mental and physical disabilities, temporary or permanent.\u00a0 It ranges from a broken arm, to depression, to cystic fibrosis.\u00a0 Disability discrimination includes derogatory comments because of your disability, but often we find that it takes the form of indirect discrimination: placing the same requirements upon all employees, which you are unable to comply with because of your disability.\u00a0 Employers who do not make reasonable adjustments for your disability may be found to have engaged in disability discrimination.<\/p>

Many people do not realize that they may have a claim, or do not understand what discrimination means under the relevant legislation.\u00a0 We are dealing with a complicated concept, with several gray areas.\u00a0 We can advise you, help you prepare a statement, gather evidence and represent you in the relevant Commission to make sure that your voice is heard.<\/p>

Disability Discrimination Claims<\/strong><\/h3>
You are entitled to justice and a fair go, under no circumstances do you have to suffer or put up with discrimination in the workplace.\u00a0 Why should you suffer because of your employer, or their failure to act on your complaints?\u00a0 Many people do not realize that they may be eligible or just not sure as to the merits of their claim.\u00a0 Contact AWDR<\/a> now to have a confidential discussion regarding your situation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
