Other Discrimination

Melanie Schleiger Legal advises and represents people who have experienced unlawful discrimination in employment, education, goods and services, public services and accommodation.

Discrimination laws protect people from unlawful treatment connected with a range of personal attributes. Depending on the circumstances, these may include disability, race, age, sex, pregnancy, family or caring responsibilities and other attributes protected under Victorian or Commonwealth law.

The laws and legal tests are not identical in every jurisdiction. Melanie can advise you about the protections that apply to your circumstances, whether the conduct may be unlawful, and the options for resolving your matter.
