Who we are and what we do
Equal Opportunity Tasmania is an independent body responsible for Tasmania’s anti-discrimination law.
Our responsibilities are outlined in the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998.
Our aim
Our aim is to foster a society that is free of discrimination and harassment.
We do this by promoting acceptable and inclusive behaviors in our community and by helping to resolve differences when problems arise.
We believe everyone has the right to be treated fairly and to have the same opportunity as others to engage in public life and employment free from discrimination and harassment.
Our vision is to create a community where everyone is valued and respected.
