Equal Opportunity and Discrimination
Gibson & Gibson has a reputation for our skilled and effective representation of parties and successful outcomes in equal opportunity matters. We represent individuals, employers, and sporting and other clubs or associations in complaints of discrimination and harassment. We can assist in preparing a complaint or defence to a complaint, represent you at conciliation conferences and if the matter is unresolved, we will represent you at hearing in the State Administrative Tribunal, Federal Court or Federal Magistrates' Court.
Often equal opportunity disputes are bound up with other issues such as workers' compensation or termination of employment. We can strategically deal with all related issues when we represent you in relation to equal opportunity.
