Can an organisation or advocate lodge a complaint on my behalf?
No, the Act only provides for an aggrieved person to make the complaint, except where a person has a disability and cannot write or sign his or her name. In those circumstances a person authorised by the complainant can lodge on his or her behalf, or, where the person cannot give authorisation because of a disability, by a person approved by the Commissioner. A Trade Union can lodge a complaint on behalf of a member.
