The Age Discrimination Act

Adding to existing Commonwealth disability, sex and racial discrimination laws, the Age Discrimination Act 2004 (Cth) began operation on 23 June 2004. Like other discrimination legislation, the Act prohibits both direct and indirect discrimination in areas such as employment, education, access to premises, accommodation, and goods, services and facilities. General exemptions apply under the Act for superannuation, insurance, pensions, allowances and benefits, migration, youth and health programs.
