There are different types of discrimination: direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, lack of accessibility, harassment, sexual harassment, and instructions to discriminate. If an employer/ education provider learns that an employee (including temporary personnel and interns), a student, or applicant may have been subjected to harassment or sexual harassment, the employer/education provider is obligated to investigate the situation that has arisen and when appropriate, take any reasonable measures that are necessary to prevent any similar harassment /disadvantage from occurring in the future.

In Ch. 2, Section 18 of the Anti-Discrimination Act, retaliation is also prohibited. Primarily, this deals with punishment aimed at someone who has reported or pointed out that an employer/education provider has broken the law against discrimination.

Grounds for discrimination

There are seven grounds for discrimination that are covered by the Anti-Discrimination Act. These are gender, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other beliefs, disability, sexual orientation, and age. Definitions are taken directly from the descriptions of such by the Discrimination Ombudsman.
