e) Anti-discrimination legislation
In 1991 the Queensland Parliament passed a law, the Anti-Discrimination Act which aims to protect people in Queensland from unfair discrimination, sexual harassment and other objectionable conduct and provides a means to bring a complaint and have it resolved. All employers need to take reasonable steps to prevent or minimise discrimination, sexual harassment and victimisation in the workplace.
Reasonable steps might include:
