  • Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) - Level 1The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and the Australian Human Rights Commission Act (AHRCA) apply throughout Australia. This legislation attempts to eliminate as far as possible discrimination against persons on the ground of disability and to ensure that persons with disabilities have the same rights to equality before the law as the rest of the community. Some areas of discrimination are unlawful under the DDA, whilst the AHRCA sets out how to make a complaint about breaches of the DDA.

    The University is obligated to ensure that it does not discriminate against students, prospective students and employees and prospective employees on the basis of a disability. The University has obligations under the Act in its capacity as:- (i) a provider of education; (ii) a provider of accommodation; (iii) an employer, and is also responsible to ensure that all employees, external contractors and students are made aware of what constitutes acceptable standards of behaviour within the University.
