The general position in Australian law is that discrimination in any form against a person, which is due to certain protected attributes, is considered to be unlawful. So, it follows that “positive discrimination”, notwithstanding its best intentions, can still be considered unlawful discrimination.
The penalties for discriminatory adverse action can result in a maximum penalty of $66,600 for every corporation violation and $13,320 for every individual violation. The penalty can also include order for injunctions, reinstatement of the employee and/or compensation.
