discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, marital status, disability,
homosexuality, transgender identity, age and responsibilities as a
carer. 3.2 It follows that in fulfilling their obligations under the Dispute
Resolution Procedure prescribed by this Award the parties have
obligations to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the operation
of the provisions of this Award are not directly or indirectly
discriminatory in their effects. It will be consistent with the
fulfilment of these obligations for the parties to make application to
vary any provision of the Award, which, by its terms or operation, has
a direct or indirect discriminatory effect. 3.3 Under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977, it is unlawful to victimise an
Employee because the Employee has made or may make or has been involved
in a complaint of unlawful discrimination or harassment. 3.4 Employers and employees may also be subject to Commonwealth anti-
discrimination legislation. Section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977 provides: 3.4.1 Nothing in the Act affects any other act or practice of a body
established to propagate religion that conforms to the doctrines of
that religion or is necessary to avoid injury to the religious
susceptibilities of the adherents of that religion. 3.5 Nothing in this clause is to be taken to affect: 3.5.1 any conduct or act which is specifically exempted from Anti-
Discrimination legislation; 3.5.2 offering or providing junior rates of pay to persons under 21
years of age; 3.5.3 a party to this Award from pursuing matters of unlawful
discrimination in any State or Federal jurisdiction. 3.6 This clause does not create legal rights or obligations in addition to
those imposed upon the parties by the legislation referred to in this
clause.
