3. Equality Act 2010 (Race Religions Act & Disability Discrimination Act) –‘It requires equal treatment in access to employment as well as private and public services, regardless of the protected characteristics of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.’ (Wikipedia) As for it relating to nursing for the mentally disabled, ‘employers and service providers are under a duty to make reasonable adjustments to their workplaces to overcome barriers experienced by disabled people’

It grants them the right to purchase goods and services, obtain telecommunication devices, and participate in political and social activities. For example, according to title 47, the law grants rights for people with a disability to access methods of communication such as telegraph, telephone, radio, cell phones, and other means of communication (ADA, 2008). Section 12182 of the Act prohibits any discrimination based on accommodation procedures.

The ‘Disability Services Act 1986’ is a law that aims to support people with disabilities in receiving services. The law protects the rights of people with disabilities in regards to basic opportunities, services and pursuit of grievances. It is only accessible through organisations that it affects, such as the NDIA. The Act is protected under Chapter 2 of the Criminal Code, however the enforceability is not enacted upon as there is no active check on services and organisations. However, access may be denied to people with a criminal record. Overall, this law is efficient in trying to achieve justice in writing, however the implementation of it is not effective. The Act offers more of a guideline to organisations, with no active monitors to check these actions. It was also made in 1986, meaning that it may not be suitable for meeting current society’s needs and is in need of amendment. A second legal response that has been implemented is the ‘Disability Discrimination Act 1992’. This Act makes it unlawful for discrimination against a disabled person in the workforce, and allows for complaints to be lodged, protecting individual rights. The law is accessible, applying to all states in Australia. Furthermore, the Act states “The DDA does not require the provision of access to be made if this will cause major difficulties or excessive costs to a person or organisation.” (Australian Human Right Commission, 2018). This clause does not achieve justice for many people with disabilities as the law may be used against them by employers and prevent a work placement. In terms of enforceability, “The legislation did not create any enforceable rights or duties only a power for the Commission to investigate complaints… and report to Parliament on matters that could not be resolved.” (Ozdowski, 2003). This is not effective or responsive, as the Act only enables a complaints system

The Federal Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) provides protection for people in Australia against discrimination because of disability. The legislation also aims to promote equal opportunity and access for people with disability.

The Equality Act passed in 2010 prevents employers from discriminating against employees based on their physical or in other cases mental disability.

The ADA is also another act passed in 2010 that protects all qualified job applicants against any sort of discrimination based on their disability. ADA makes it illegal for any employer to discriminate qualified individuals with disabilities in cases of job recruitment, hiring, compensation, job training, advancements, as well as other job opportunities (Bowman, 2011).

There are different forms for all discrimination in today’s society. Discrimination is a concept that society has been portrayed as an acceptable act. Ableism is the discrimination against people with physical and mental disabilities. Even though discrimination in society is very impactful and persuasive there have been many steps taken to help improve the discrimination and equality in the work place for the disabled. Ableism is the act of discrimination against disabled people, there is also many aspects that have improved ableism through the history, court cases that have changed the laws and regulations within the ADA, as well as the improvements our society could still perform to make ableism become a scarce discrimination within our society.
