MAIN BODY
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992.
This is an Act passed by the parliament of Australia in the year 1992 in which any kind
discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, education, public places,
utilization of goods and services, accommodations, luxury places and on any other grounds is
strictly prohibited.
Disability discrimination happens when a person is treated with partiality and is not given
equal opportunities as others consider the same stage and situation (Dickeson and Snell, 2022.).

disabilities such as physically handicapped people, sensory and neurological defects, learning
and mental inabilities, medical illness and diseases, abnormality and work related injuries
(Bunbury, 2019). This Act also protects the people who may be discriminated because they are
accompanied by a companion to perform their task with either human support or equipment that
they may use.
The DDA does not include the people who had disabilities in the past and the potential
future disabilities they may have as assumed but only considers action against the present
condition by analysing the situation of the matter. It requires a paper work and identification
work to be able to prove the disability first and then the person is liable to be benefited from the
act.

or the country as the citizen. These rights are universal irrespective of nationality, sex, religion,

The Convention on the Human Rights of persons with disabilities is an international
human rights treaty of the United Nations intended to protect the rights and the dignity of the
