These translated factsheets provide information about what discrimination is and how the law protects Victoria.

What is discrimination?  

When we talk about a person being discriminated against, it means they’re being treated badly or unfairly because of a personal characteristic that is protected by the law. This can happen in places like at work, school or when we buy something or receive a service.
