Summary

The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) also prohibits discrimination in employment based on a protected attribute such as ‘race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, family or carer’s responsibilities, pregnancy, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin’ (s 351(1)). The discrimination on the basis of religion may be permissible in faith-based non-government schools and is discussed further in this chapter.
