Equal Opportunity Act 1984

It is unlawful for a principal to discriminate against a contract worker on the ground of the contract worker’s impairment —

in the terms or conditions on which the principal allows the contract worker to work; or

by not allowing the contract worker to work or continue to work; or

by denying the contract worker access, or limiting the contract worker’s access, to any benefit associated with the work in respect of which the contract with the employer is made; or

by subjecting the contract worker to any other detriment.

Nothing in subsection (1) renders it unlawful for a person to discriminate against another person, on the ground of the other person’s impairment, in connection with work to perform domestic duties on the premises on which the first‑mentioned person resides.
