Disability Discrimination Act 1992

It is unlawful for a club or incorporated association, the committee of management of a club or a member of the committee of management of a club or incorporated association to discriminate against a person who is not a member of the club or association on the ground of the person’s disability:

by refusing or failing to accept the person’s application for membership; or

in the terms or conditions on which the club or association is prepared to admit the person to membership.

It is unlawful for a club or incorporated association, the committee of management of a club or a member of the committee of management of a club or incorporated association to discriminate against a person who is a member of the club or association on the ground of the member’s disability:

in the terms or conditions of membership that are afforded to the member; or

by refusing or failing to accept the member’s application for a particular class or type of membership; or

by denying the member access, or limiting the member’s access to any benefit provided by the club or association; or

by depriving the member of membership or varying the terms of membership; or

by subjecting the member to any other detriment.

Neither subsection (1) nor (2) renders it unlawful to discriminate against a person on the ground of the person’s disability if membership (however described) of the club or incorporated association is restricted only to persons who have a particular disability and the first‑mentioned person does not have that disability.
