How can I prove workplace discrimination occurred?
Proving workplace discrimination requires evidence such as emails, witness statements, unequal pay records, or unfair performance reviews. A discrimination lawyer can help you identify key evidence and build a strong case.
How do I know if I have been unlawfully discriminated against?
If you have been treated unfairly or differently due to a protected characteristic (e.g., race, sex, age, disability) in employment, services, education, or housing, you may have experienced unlawful discrimination. Consulting a Melbourne-based discrimination lawyer can clarify your rights.
What steps should I take if I experience workplace discrimination in Melbourne?
Start by documenting incidents, gathering evidence, and reporting the issue internally (e.g., HR or a supervisor). If unresolved, consult a discrimination lawyer in Melbourne to explore legal options, such as lodging a claim with the Fair Work Commission or Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission.
What’s the difference between direct and indirect discrimination?
Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly due to personal attributes like gender or race. Indirect discrimination happens when policies or rules seem neutral but disadvantage certain groups. A lawyer can help clarify how these apply to your situation.
How long do I have to file a discrimination complaint in Victoria?
Time limits vary depending on the specific discrimination case. For workplace discrimination under the Fair Work Act, claims generally need to be lodged within 21 days. Consulting a lawyer promptly ensures you meet all deadlines.
Can I file a discrimination complaint anonymously?
While formal complaints usually require your details, certain organisations allow anonymous reporting to address systemic issues. Your lawyer can guide you on the best approach to protect your privacy while pursuing justice.
What compensation can I receive if I win my discrimination case?
Compensation can include financial reimbursement for lost wages, damages for emotional distress, legal costs, and other losses caused by discrimination. Your lawyer will help assess what you’re entitled to.
What happens during conciliation for a discrimination dispute?
Conciliation is an alternative dispute resolution process where both parties meet with an impartial mediator to resolve the issue. Lawyers play a crucial role in presenting your case and negotiating the best outcome.

Testimonials
What our clients are saying
I believe Penny is one of the best family law lawyers I have ever come across. From the very first call, I felt her genuine attention to detail and the precision she applies to every aspect of the case.
Her meticulous approach gave me immense confidence throughout the process. The supporting team at Pentana Stanton, especially Saniya, were incredibly helpful during the drafting of all the necessary documents.
As a whole, the firm provides quick, efficient service and proves to be highly trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.
