Equal Opportunity
VCAT can hear and decide cases about unlawful discrimination, sexual harassment, victimisation or vilification under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 or the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001 as part of our Human Rights List.
We can also grant and revoke exemptions under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. Exemptions allow conduct that would otherwise be prohibited discrimination.
