Activity details
Progress a bill to amend the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA) to include the experience of domestic and family violence (DFV) as a ground of discrimination. This will make it illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis that they are being, or have been, subjected to DFV.
Implementation progress update
In June 2023, the Parliament of South Australia passed the Equal Opportunity (Domestic Abuse) Amendment Bill 2023. The Bill includes the experience of DFV as grounds for discrimination in the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 and provides an avenue of complaint to Equal Opportunity SA that did not exist previously.
Complaints can now be made to Equal Opportunity SA about DFV discrimination that occurs at work, when applying for a job, during the provision of goods and services, and when looking for a place to live.
