Treated unfairly at work because of your race or background?
← Back to Workplace Discrimination Lawyer
Race discrimination at work covers your race, ethnicity, national origin, and related characteristics like accent or cultural background. It can show up as direct comments, or as a pattern, being passed over, given worse shifts or duties, or excluded, that only makes sense once you notice it.
This might be your situation if
- You've experienced racial comments, jokes, or slurs at work.
- You've been passed over for roles, shifts, or opportunities that seem to track your background.
- You've been treated differently because of your accent or where you're from.
- You're not sure if what's happened is discrimination, harassment, or both.

Common questions
Yes, discrimination law generally covers race broadly, including ethnicity, ethnic origin, and related characteristics like accent or cultural background, not a narrow technical definition.
Vilification is about public conduct that incites hatred or contempt based on race; discrimination is about being treated less favourably at work because of it. They can overlap, but they're assessed differently, so tell us what's actually happened and we'll work out what applies.
