There are laws throughout Australia which prohibit discrimination based on protected attributes, including attributes such as sex, race, disability and age. Discriminating against someone at work can include dismissing or demoting an employee, denying an employee access to opportunities or subjecting the employee to any other detriment because of their protected attribute.
