ACT Human Rights Commission

The ACT Human Rights Commission helps people raise concerns about health care services and human rights issues. The service also helps people with concerns about discrimination, sexual harassment, vilification (public behaviour that encourages hatred towards a person or group) and victimisation (being treated badly for speaking up). People can make a complaint if they receive health care in the Australian Capital Territory or have experienced unfair treatment. Family members and carers can also make some complaints. The Commission looks into complaints and helps resolve issues, often by working with the people or organisations involved. This service is available in the Australian Capital Territory.
