Australian Human Rights Commission
National human rights institution and discrimination conciliator.
What this authority does
Conciliates complaints under the Racial, Sex, Disability and Age Discrimination Acts, inquires into human-rights matters and may intervene in court proceedings. Because Australia has no national bill of rights, this conciliation route is the principal federal remedy for discrimination.
