FAQ
In 2020, the General Social Survey (GSS) found that 13.3% of people aged 18 years and over experienced some form of discrimination in the previous 12 months.
Racist abuse and harassment are forms of direct discrimination. One example of direct race discrimination is where you are from a particular racial group and an employer refuses to appoint you because, the employer says, you 'wouldn't fit in' or 'the customers would object'.
More recent data from the Scanlon Institute's Mapping Social Cohesion Report, shows that in 2023, almost one in five (18%) people had experienced discrimination based on their skin colour, ethnic origin or religion over the last 12 months.
The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 promotes equality before the law for all people regardless of race, colour or national or ethnic origin. It is unlawful to discrimination against people on the basis of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin.
Racism has manifested itself in a variety of ways, including segregation, racist immigration and naturalisation laws, and internment camps.
For example, it would be direct discrimination if an employer refused to hire a suitably qualified Aboriginal person as a shop assistant and instead hired a less qualified person of a different race because they felt they could lose customers if they had an Aboriginal person working in the shop.
Australia is home to the world's oldest continuous culture as well as non-Indigenous Australians who identify with over 300 different ancestries. Migration to Australia is not a new phenomenon. In fact, Australia has a rich history of migration and trade pre-dating British colonisation.
Over the past 10 years, racist incidents have been reported in all aspects of Australian society, from everyday settings such as public transport, to essential institutions such as education and healthcare. While legislation protects against discrimination based on race, many people experience racism daily.
