Disability discrimination laws make it unlawful to discriminate against people with disabilities, including mental health conditions. Discrimination includes both direct and indirect actions. So not making reasonable adjustments to support your needs can be a type of discrimination. The Fair Work Act prohibits an employer from taking action against a worker for discriminatory reasons.
Find information about the Disability Discrimination Act on the Australian Human Rights Commission website.
Learn more about protection from discrimination at work on the Fair Work Ombudsman website.
Under Australian privacy law, a worker’s personal information is generally protected and can only be shared in certain circumstances. This includes information about your mental health.
