Which legislation promotes equal opportunity in the workplace?

The Equal Employment Opportunity Act 1987 is the legislation specifically designed to ensure that all individuals have access to equal opportunities in the workplace. This act aims to eliminate discrimination based on race, religion, gender, and other characteristics, promoting a fair and equitable environment for job applicants and employees.

The focus of this act is to address workplace inequalities and establish legal frameworks that prohibit any form of discrimination. By enforcing equal treatment and opportunities within employment, it helps create diverse and inclusive workplaces where everyone has the same chances for hiring, promotions, and career advancement.

The other options, while also related to various aspects of rights and protections in society, do not primarily focus on promoting equal opportunity in the workplace in the same way. The Anti Discrimination Act 1977, for instance, addresses discrimination more broadly but not specifically focused on employment. The Fair Trading Act 1987 governs consumer rights rather than workplace equality, and the WHS Act 2011 focuses on workplace health and safety, not directly on equal opportunities in employment.
