Dear Reader,

The Federal Government has recently announced that they intend to introduce a single, comprehensive Commonwealth anti-discrimination Act at some stage in the near future.

Even though this new, streamlined Act isn’t being brought in for a while yet, you may hear little tidbits in the news about changes to discrimination laws and new draft discrimination legislation over the coming months.

For example, in last Thursday’s Bulletin, I told you that the government will soon establish breastfeeding as a separate ground for discrimination.

So in short, keep you eyes and ears alert to news about changes to discrimination laws!

I will, of course, keep you informed about everything you will need to know in future Workplace Bulletins.

You can also expect an updated version of the Discrimination chapter in your Employment Law Practical Handbook to be released shortly.

Until next time…
