1 Discrimination

2 NSW Anti-Discrimination Legislation
The Anti-Discrimination Legislation states that no one can be refused of a good or service or be treated differently within the workplace under the following categories. Age Disability Homosexuality  Marital Status  Race  Sex  Transgender Pregnancy

3 Age An example of this is when an employer may say to someone that they are to old to be serving drinks at a bar even though the are fully qualified, this means that they are discriminating them because of their age. Another example of this is when an older person is told that they are not allowed to do a certain task like skydiving even though it is not up to the person booking the event and it is solely up to the elder person wanting to skydive.

4 Disability Discriminating against someone with a disability could be when a person is organising an event and they do not provide wheelchair access or disabled toilets. This is discrimination because the organiser of the event is not accompanying for all people that may be attending that event.

9 Transgender A form of transgender discrimination could be if a person is organising an all woman tour and a female who used to be a male tries to get into the tour is denied then they are being discriminated against.

10 Pregnancy To discriminate against a pregnant woman could be that a bouncer of a club is told not to let in any pregnant women because it ruins the company image, even though the woman has all rights to enter that club and drink alcohol.
