Sex Discrimination

Office for Women (OfW) plays a key role in providing policy advice and research on the operation of the Federal Sex Discrimination Act 1984 . This includes identifying and examining emerging issues and examining the impact of any proposed amendments to the Act. OfW also consults regularly with key stakeholders and liaises with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC). 

HREOC administers the Sex Discrimination Act (for further information see www.humanrights.gov.au).
