State Legislation

In addition to the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 each State and Territory government of Australia has their own legislation that legislates against discrimination based on disability. Each of these Acts establishes an independent statutory body whose responsibility is to investigate complaints, conciliate grievances or refer matters to a court or Tribunal.

State and Territory legislation can only regulate State and Territory education providers. Listed below are the Acts and independent statutory bodies in each State and Territory of Australia.
