Indirect Discrimination | Australian Human Rights Commission
humanrights.gov.au › quick-guide › 12049Employers. Indirect discrimination occurs when there is an unreasonable rule or policy that is the same for everyone but has an unfair effect on people who share a particular attribute. Example: It could be indirect sex discrimination if a policy says that managers must work full-time, as this might disadvantage women because they are more likely to work part-time because of family responsibilities.
