9. What you can do about discrimination

If you have been discriminated against, first think about what you want to be done. Depending on how you were discriminated against, you may want:

• your job back, if you think you were unfairly dismissed;
• compensation;
• an apology; or
• a clear sign that an organisation won't discriminate in the same way in future.

Whatever you want, it is usually best to first try to sort out the matter with the person or organisation that has discriminated against you (your employer, for example).

If complaining in this way doesn't get what you want, your next steps will depend on the type of discrimination you have suffered and where it happened.
