Yes. The DDA provides for complaints only where a person alleges discrimination on the basis of a disability which that person has (or which is imputed to him or her, or he or she had in the past or may have in the future or the disability of an associate). A complaint that a person has been discriminated against because he or she does not have a disability or the particular disability which is a criterion for eligibility for a program or opportunity has no basis in the DDA. In any event, section 45 of the DDA specifies that the discrimination provisions of the legislation do not make it unlawful to do any act which is “reasonably intended” to ensure that persons who have a disability have equal opportunities with other persons or afford persons who have a disability or a particular disability opportunities to meet their special needs in relation to employment and other areas.
