FAQ

If you feel you have experienced illegal discrimination, you can file a complaint or report a bias incident to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC). Email the PHRC or call your regional office.

Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.

A written complaint to OSPI must include the following information: A description the conduct or incident—use facts (what, who and when) An explanation of why you believe unlawful discrimination has taken place. Your name and contact information, including a mailing address.

You can make a complaint no matter where you live in Australia. If you are not sure if you can make a complaint about something, you can contact the Commission's National Information Service by phone on 1300 656 419 or by email to infoservice@humanrights.au.

You can apply to the Federal Court or Federal Circuit and Family Court to have your case heard by the court. You must go through the Australian Human Rights Commission conciliation process first before you can lodge an application. The commission will issue a notice that your complaint has been closed.

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.

For Example: An employer refused to hire a suitably qualified person as a shop assistant because they were Aboriginal, and instead hired a less qualified person of a different racial background. This could be racial discrimination.
