Equal Opportunity Commission-The Commission?s focus is changing. While still investigating and seeking to conciliate complaints on all the various grounds of the Act, as well as delivering educational programmes, the Commission is involved in a number of projects designed to address the underlying causes of discrimination, often in partnership with other agencies.
The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission was established in 1986 by an act of the Federal Parliament. Our goal is to foster greater understanding and protection of human rights in Australia and to address the human rights concerns of a broad range of individuals and groups. We are an independent statutory organisation and report to the federal Parliament through the Attorney-General.
