The oldest disability discrimination legislation in NSW

The oldest disability discrimination legislation in NSW, emphasizing the federal Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), is the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA). This act prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their disability in various public domains, such as employment, education, and access to services. Although the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 also tackles discrimination, the DDA is specifically dedicated to disability discrimination. It encompasses a wide range of disabilities, including physical, intellectual, and mental, and applies to situations where a person is assumed to have a disability.
