When is the deadline for anti-discrimination complaint to the commissioner?

The catalogue records a 1 year period from The alleged contravention of the Act. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.

Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.

In preparation

The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.

Example pending review

Calculation basis and source

Period
1 year
Trigger
The alleged contravention of the Act
Counting
The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
Rollovers and holidays

This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.

  • If a complaint is made more than 1 year after the alleged contravention, the commissioner must decide to accept it only if satisfied the complainant has shown good cause, and otherwise not to accept it (s 138(2)). If the complaint is later referred to the tribunal, the tribunal may nonetheless deal with it if it considers that, on the balance of fairness between the parties, it would be reasonable to do so (s 175(2)).
  • Two gates: acceptance by the commissioner under s 138 and acceptance by the tribunal under s 175. The Act carries uncommenced amendments (2024 No. 47 ss 29, 44); verify the version in force at the relevant date.
