What is the Anti-Discrimination Commission?
The Northern Territory Anti-Discrimination Commission (ADC) promotes equal opportunity for all Territorians.
Established in 1993, the ADC aims to eliminate discrimination from happening by raising awareness about individual’s rights and responsibilities under the Northern Territory Anti-Discrimination Act 1992.
The ADC has three main roles:
Public education and training
We provide public education and training through a set program as well as tailored training to organisations and individuals.
Handling complaints
We provide information about your rights and responsibilities under anti-discrimination law. We also accept, evaluate and help resolve complaints of discrimination.
Community engagement
We attend public forums, meetings and organisations to hear and share information about rights and responsibilities under the Act.
The Northern Territory Anti-Discrimination Commissioner is Jeswynn Yogaratnam.
