The following complaint summaries are based on actual complaints that have been made to the Equal Opportunity Commission since July 2005.  These complaints have all been resolved, generally following conciliation.

Conciliation is a face to face meeting held by one of the Commission's conciliation officers where the people directly involved in the complaint talk about the matter and look for ways to resolve it.

Complaint summaries are sorted by the type of complaint (e.g., disability, race) and the place that it happened (e.g., employment, education).  Names and other identifying details have been changed for confidentiality.

You can browse these short summaries by using the links below. 

Note that we will soon be adding summaries of complaints which were withdrawn by the person making the complaint or declined by the Commission.
