These Guidelines have been produced by the Anti-Discrimination Board of NSW. They provide information on how advertisers can meet their obligations under anti-discrimination law.

They explain what is covered by anti-discrimination law in NSW, how to follow anti-discrimination law, and how the Board investigates complaints.
