Anti-Discrimination Board representative action
In the meantime, and separate from the Amery case, a representative action has been brought first with original claims in the Anti-Discrimination Board and then in the Supreme Court of NSW by Federation together with 688 women casual school teachers. The subsequent Supreme Court application challenges the decision of the President of the Anti-Discrimination Board to reject all those parts of the women casual school teachers' claims that relate to casual school teaching done six months before the date of the complaint to the Anti-Discrimination Board on the basis that they are 'out-of-time'. This matter is still progressing.
The bases of the claims in both the Amery case and the representative class action are the same, that is, Federation argues that pay rates for casual school teachers are indirectly discriminatory.
