66N Discrimination in sport on ground of impairment
It is unlawful for a person to discriminate against another person on the ground of the other person’s impairment by excluding that person from a sporting activity.
In subsection (1), reference to a sporting activity includes a reference to an administrative or coaching activity in relation to any sport.
Subsection (1) does not apply to discrimination against a person —
if the person is not adequately capable of performing the actions required in relation to the sporting activity; or
where the persons who participate or are to participate in the sporting activity are selected by a method which is reasonable on the basis of their skills and abilities relevant to the sporting activity and relative to each other; or
where a sporting activity is conducted only for persons who have a particular impairment and the first‑mentioned person does not have that impairment.
