Funded Activity Summary

Improving the Effectiveness of Australia's Anti-Discrimination Laws. The effectiveness of Australia's anti-discrimination laws in reducing discrimination and developing acceptance of diversity has been limited by reliance on a complaints-based enforcement model, narrow drafting and technical judicial interpretations. The laws will be analysed and evaluated against overseas laws and by a survey of stakeholders and users. Results will significantly develop the literature, and produce recommendations for improvement of the legislation to protect the community better from discrimination and encourage harmony with diversity, essential to Australia's future. All equal opportunity legislation throughout Australia will be analysed, with a focus on the Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995.
