In today’s diverse workplace environment, protecting your business against discrimination claims is crucial. EPLI connects you with Discrimination Insurance solutions, ensuring your business is well-equipped to handle such challenges in Australia.
What Australian Law Says
Discrimination in the workplace in Australia is governed by several laws, including the Fair Work Act 2009 and various state and territory anti-discrimination acts. These laws prohibit discrimination based on attributes such as race, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation. Australian businesses are required to provide a discrimination-free workplace and could face legal consequences if they fail to comply.
Consequences of Discrimination Liability
The implications of discrimination claims can be extensive for businesses. They range from legal proceedings and financial compensation to negative public perception and internal workplace issues. Such claims can disrupt business operations and significantly damage a company’s reputation.
