- Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) - Level 1The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 gives effect to Australia’s international human rights obligations and promotes equality between women and men. The Act protects people from unfair treatment on the basis of their sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, marital or relationship status, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It also protects workers with family responsibilities and makes sexual harassment against the law.
- State Records Act 1998 (NSW) - Level 1The aim of the State Records Act is to ensure that the business of the NSW public sector is properly documented and that official records are managed efficiently and effectively to support service delivery, good governance and accountability. A State record is any record made and kept, or received and kept, by any person in the course of the exercise of official functions in a public office, or for any purpose of a public office, or for the use of a public office. As a public office the University must comply with the Act and legislative instruments issued under it by NSW State Records.
