Employment advertisements

All forms of job advertisements must be non-discriminatory, and must not be misleading, in order to avoid liability under federal, state and territory anti-discrimination legislation or the Australian Consumer Law.

Importantly, however, a job advertisement which requires prospective employees to possess a particular personal characteristic will not fall foul of anti-discrimination laws if that characteristic if a genuine occupational requirement of the job.
