Anti-Discrimination Policy Template

The Anti-Discrimination Policy defines an organization’s commitment to promoting equality, preventing unlawful discrimination and supporting compliance with Australian workplace and anti-discrimination laws. It applies to employees, contractors, volunteers and others connected with the workplace. The policy also provides complaint handling procedures, training requirements and review obligations, helping create a respectful, safe and inclusive work environment.

The employer, HR team or legal advisors complete the policy. It must be adapted to reflect the organisation’s industry, size, structure and internal procedures, including contacts for grievance handling and relevant state or territory references.

Once finalized, the policy should be shared internally with all staff, incorporated into onboarding and training and made accessible on the company website or in employee handbooks. It is not submitted to a regulator but is maintained internally as part of workplace governance and compliance practices.
