| dc.description.abstract | This report, for the Australian Human Rights Commission, investigates the experiences and barriers faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals in seeking legal redress for discrimination in Australia. Drawing on doctrinal analysis and a review of academic and grey literature, the paper identifies systemic shortcomings in anti-discrimination law, jurisdictional inconsistencies, and the enduring influence of historical prejudice on access to justice. It further examines how intersecting marginalities—such as race, disability, or refugee status—compound these barriers. The report proposes reforms to enhance cultural safety and equity in the justice system. | en |
