As well as the exemptions that are set out in the law, it is possible for an employer, education provider or other trader to apply for an exemption to a discrimination law to cover their own particular circumstances.
The South Australian Employment Tribunal can grant exemptions from provisions of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA) (including outside of employment situations) and the Australian Human Rights Commission can grant exemptions from provisions of Commonwealth anti-discrimination laws.
In general, exemptions are granted for a limited time and conditions may be imposed.
