This section contains the relevant Commonwealth and Queensland legislation including Equal Opportunity and Anti-discrimination legislation and the Human Rights Act. This legislation exists to protect the rights of all Australians, regardless of their culture, religion, sex or other irrelevant traits.

QUT has based many of its own policies on this legislation to ensure these laws are upheld within QUT.

QUT has an additional responsibility to prevent discrimination and human rights violations and is subject to vicarious liability if these rights are violated.

The QUT Manual of Policies and Procedures outlines QUT equity policies. Managers and supervisors should familiarise themselves with all relevant policy information.
