Discussion paper

The discussion paper aimed to provide a background to the Review, an overview of discrimination laws, and the key issues identified through our initial consultation and research.

It then asked a series of questions on particular issues and areas for reform to provide guidance to organisations, entities and businesses on the topics we were seeking evidence about.

Submissions in response to the discussion paper are available to read on the submissions page, where we were given consent to publish.
