What information do I need in order to fill out the Australian Human Rights Commission complaint form?

• You will need to describe in detail what has happened including:
  • dates and times of key events;
  • names of individuals involved;
  • details about your employment such as:
    • when you commenced employment;
    • your job title;
    • whether you are still employed;
    • what your job involves; and
    • any meeting you have had with human resources or your manager.
• You will need to attach copies of documents that support your complaint. These may include:
  • notes you wrote about what happened;
  • letters and emails between you and the employer or other people;
  • medical reports;
  • doctors certificates; and
  • your contract if applicable.

• If you do not have the above documents you should provide information about how the documents can be obtained.
• You will have to identify how you think your complaint could be resolved. Remember to be reasonable. Think realistically about what outcome you would like and whether it is achievable. Think also about what you would be willing to accept and what you would not be willing to accept.
