Brief summary of the articleA transgender social worker has been awarded $35,000 after the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal found that an internal NSW Health recruitment process amounted to indirect transgender discrimination. The tribunal found that requiring disclosure of his former names risked outing him to colleagues, infringed his privacy and dignity, and caused significant distress.
Main Points of the Article"We accept his evidence that for (HGY) to comply with the requirement, it would mean suffering significant and ongoing fear, stress, and anxiety that people in his workplace may discriminate against him, ask him invasive questions, spread gossip or even subject him to aggressive abuse."
"We also accept his evidence that for him to comply with the requirement, it would infringe his dignity and sense of personal privacy, which is a cost he is unable to bear."
