Whats the difference between the Australian Human Rights Commission and the SA Equal Opportunity Commission?
The Australian Human Rights Commission can assist people from across Australia on a broader range of grounds, such as discrimination because of a person’s medical records, criminal record, or religious beliefs. The Australian Human Rights Commission also promotes human rights awareness and can conduct enquiries, such as the National Enquiry into Children in Immigration Detention. The EOC can only assist people who have experienced discrimination or harassment in SA under a limited range of grounds, and does not have a human rights function.
