If you feel you have been discriminated against, you can lodge a complaint with the Commissioner for Equal Opportunity. If you decide to lodge a complaint there are certain things that you, the complainant, need to do. To help you, here is a checklist.

Tick the boxes as you complete each step Your complaint must be in writing, but can be in any language.
You, the complainant, must sign and date your complaint.
Your letter of complaint must refer to a ground of discrimination and an area of activity that is covered by the Act.
You must identify the person and/or organisation who you believe has discriminated against you.
You must explain what happened and why you think it is discrimination. (For example: When did the incident happen? Who were the people involved?)
You must provide any relevant documentation. (For example: A letter of dismissal, medical certificates, statements from witnesses.)
You must lodge your complaint within 12 months of the discrimination. (If your complaint is more than 12 months old, it will only be investigated if you can satisfy the Commissioner that there is good cause why it should be investigated.)
