We work with clients in the education sector, organisations, not-for-profits and corporate entities to successfully resolve human rights and discrimination complaints as well as work proactively to achieve best practice compliance with anti-discrimination and human rights laws and regulations.
We can help you
We support organisations on human rights issues through:
Capacity Building
We love working with organisations and people from diverse backgrounds and sectors. We aim to work collaboratively to build good human rights and discrimination practice into their policies, systems and practices.
Education
We present regularly on human rights and discrimination at conferences, workplaces and seminars and are available to tailor training or presentations to our clients’ needs.
Compliance reviews
We understand the legislative and regulatory schemes and work together with our clients to achieve fair and just outcomes. We love working together with our clients to achieve systemic change and ensure that they go beyond compliance to achieve best practice.
Dispute resolution
Our human rights and discrimination team has expertise in litigating and advocating in a variety of tribunal and court settings, helping to resolve complex human rights, discrimination and administrative law disputes.
We have resolved countless disputes in the context of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, sex discrimination, race and religious discrimination and more. What our clients appreciate is that we will support them through the successful resolution of a dispute, as well as build preventive measures into their policies and procedures to avoid further issues.
Strategic legal advice
We provide strategic advice on equality and discrimination issues, drawing on our experience working both in the regulatory, government and community legal centre sectors. We understand the broad spectrum of human rights matters and we know how to successfully navigate the complex regulatory schemes, because we’ve sat on both sides of the table.
