What are the potential outcomes of conciliation at the Australian Human Rights Commission?

• It is up to the parties to decide what outcomes they agree to.
• The conciliator can provide guidance and identify key issues but he or she is not a judge and does not make a decision for the parties.
• Potential outcomes include:
  • an apology;
  • compensation for lost wages;
  • letting the person resume their old job; and
  • changes to the workplace policies or developing anti-discrimination policies if none are in place.
• You can use our Phone a Lawyer service for a preliminary legal consultation if you think you may need legal advice.
