Sex Discrimination Act
The Federal government has recently passed legislation that will amend the Sex Discrimination Act 1984. These changes will come into force once the amending Act has received royal assent. Once that formality has been completed then sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status will become attributes that are protected from discrimination. In addition, same-sex de facto couples will be within the protection of the marital status attribute which is already a protected attribute under this Act.
