Complaint form and instructions

When you make your complaint of discrimination or other unlawful conduct you need to make sure it:

  • is in writing
  • is signed by you
  • tells us who you are complaining about
  • tells us who was affected by the discrimination or other unlawful conduct; and
  • gives us details of the alleged discrimination or other unlawful conduct, including what happened and when it happened.

Please write clearly.

You can include supporting material if it is relevant to the complaint. Please send us copies only. If the Commissioner needs to see the original, she will ask you to provide it.

You can write your complaint in a language other than English if it is the language you are most fluent in. The Commissioner will arrange for it to be translated at no cost to you.

If you have difficulty writing, please contact us and we will help you to write your complaint or refer you to an appropriate service that can help.
