The Disability Discrimination Legal Service Inc (DDLS) is an independent community legal centre that specialises in disability discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace for women. We provide free legal services in several areas including information, referral, advice, casework assistance, community legal education, and policy and law reform.
The DDLS works actively towards the eradication of disability discrimination and facilitates and promotes justice for people with disabilities through community legal education sessions to professional and community groups to raise disability awareness and provide information on the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth), Equal Opportunity Act 1995 (Vic) and Fair Work Act 2009 (Vic).
We also undertake community development research projects to investigate and challenge current social, economic and legislative issues affecting people with disabilities in the community.
