The NSW Anti-Discrimination Act details it is unlawful to be discriminated against when you apply for a job, or at work, at the shops, at the club, and getting a service like accommodation, education and medical care on the basis of your sex, disability, race, pregnancy, age, homosexuality, transgender status, marital status or carer's responsibilities.

The NSW Anti-Discrimination Act ensures certain rights are protected and enjoyed equally by everyone in NSW.

To enter, submit a photo, photo series, design or photo montage - print or digital - that expresses your thoughts on the Anti-Discrimination Act, on how equal rights is important to you and those in your community, and how we support equal rights. You could tell a story with pictures. You could take a portrait photo of someone or something that embodies the spirit of the act in NSW: harmony, diversity, acceptance, and human rights.

You can also enter as many times as you like!
