Equal Opportunity Tribunal

The Equal Opportunity Tribunal is separate from the Equal Opportunity Commissioner and has a different function.

When a complaint is unable to be resolved by conciliation, it can be referred to the Equal Opportunity Tribunal for hearing. It has a Presiding Member, who is a District Court Judge, and two other members who hear and judge complaints.

Hearings are open to the public, and only the Tribunal can determine whether discrimination has occurred.

The Tribunal considers complaints referred by the Commissioner and applications for exemptions from the Equal Opportunity Act.
