First in Australia for discrimination law
Published on the 05 December 2023
The Power2Prevent coalition welcomes the introduction of new legislation that aims to remove financial barriers that prevent victims of workplace discrimination and sexual harassment from seeking justice.
The bill proposes that people who successfully claim workplace discrimination and sexual harassment can recoup their legal costs, while those who are unsuccessful are protected from having to pay the defendant’s legal costs (except in certain, limited circumstances).
We are pleased to be part of the Power2Prevent coalition that advocated strongly for change on this issue. To view the joint statement click here, for the media release click here.
