Can I complain about discrimination if I did not get the job because of the actions of a relative, for example my brother who was a previous employee was sacked for dishonesty?

Yes, the Act prohibits discrimination because of being a relative of a particular person. The Act has a broad definition of relative; it means any other person who:

is related to the person by blood, marriage, civil union, de facto relationship,affinity, or adoption; or
is wholly or mainly dependent on the person; or
is a member of the person’s household.
