If you have been dismissed as you complained about someone's discrimination, you can make a complaint about victimisation to the Anti-Discrimination Board. To know more about harassment and discrimination, check this presentation.

1. Victimisation

2. If you’re treated badly as you complain
about discrimination or you help someone
who has been discriminated against, this is
called victimisation.

3. For example
Being dismissed as you’ve complained
about age discrimination to your employer or
the Anti-Discrimination Board.

4. This means that you must not be penalised or
encounter additional unfair treatment for:
 Complaining about treatment that you believe is
covered under the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act
1977 or
 Because somebody thinks you are about to
complain or
 Because you have helped somebody with a
complaint.

5. First, assure if you have been treated unfairly or
discriminated against based on one of the types of
discrimination.
 Age
 Carer’s responsibilities
 Disability
 Homosexuality
 Marital or domestic status
 Race
 Sex
 Pregnancy
 Transgender
How can I tell if I’ve been victimised?

6. You’re saved against victimisation only when you
do one of the following things:
 Make a claim or complaint of discrimination under
the Equality Act.
 Give evidence or information to help someone else
who has made a complaint or a claim under the Act.
 Do anything else which is corresponding the Act.
