In our submission to the Senate Standing Committees On Legal And Constitutional Affairs’ inquiry into the Australian Human Rights Commission Amendment (Costs Protection) Bill 2023 [Provisions], we welcome the introduction of an equal access costs model to federal anti-discrimination laws in Australia.
We strongly support the passage of the Australian Human Rights Commission (Costs Protection) Bill 2023 (Cth) (Costs Protection Bill) in its current form.
We are proud to be part of the Power to Prevent Coalition that has advocated for this reform and congratulate the Government on introducing the Bill.
In early 2024 we will release a new report on the small claims process, All Work No Pay, which will strongly encourage the Government to introduce similar amendments in relation to small claims brought under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
