Depending on which State or Territory you live in and the type of discrimination, bullying or harassment you have experienced, it may be appropriate to make a complaint to your state-based Anti-Discrimination Commission or Tribunal. 

See below for a list of Commissions and Tribunals in each state and territory that can deal with discrimination, bullying and harassment complaints, including sexual harassment.  

There are time limits on when you can make a complaint, and these can be as short as 21 days. That’s why it’s a good idea to get advice as soon as possible so that your complaint is valid.
