Do you have a question about discrimination, sexual harassment, the Act or functions of this office?  If you do, fill out the Online enquiry form and we will answer your questions.

Online Enquiry

Tell us your experiences

The Online form can also be used to inform us of a recent incident of discrimination, harassment or inciting hatred that may have happened to you, a friend or relative.  This will help us monitor discrimination and prohibited conduct that may be happening out in the Community so we can focus our educational programs to these areas.

If you have been seriously intimidated or harmed you should report this to Tasmania police.

Please note without a formal complaint your enquiry will only be used for the purposes of collecting information.

Be informed

Be informed before you lodge a complaint.  Go to Making a complaint for more information.

Free information sessions are available to schools, non-government, not-for-profit organisations.   Fee-for-service corporate training is available to public and private sectors state-wide. 

Please contact our office to discuss your training and education needs.
