anti-discrimination act 1977
the racial discrimination act 1975 was the first major anti-discrimination legislation passed in australia, aimed at prohibiting discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. jurisdictions within australia moved shortly after to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, through acts including the equal opportunity act 1977 and the anti-discrimination act 1977. the australian parliament expanded these protections with the sex discrimination act 1984 (sda) to cover all australians and provide protections based on sex, relationship status, and pregnancy. additionally, the sda has been expanded to include gender identity and intersex status as protected groups. discrimination based on disability status is also prohibited by the disability discrimination act 1992.
