A Queensland high school student, Jayden, uses a wheelchair and is told by a private cinema that they cannot attend an evening session because “wheelchairs block the aisle” and staff “don’t have time to manage it”. Jayden feels this is discrimination and wants (1) a practical remedy for what happened to them, and (2) to help prevent the same treatment happening to others in the future. Explain a suitable pathway Jayden could take to resolve the complaint using Australia’s human rights/anti-discrimination complaint processes, and evaluate the likely effectiveness of combining at least one formal legal process (e.g. complaint/conciliation and possible tribunal or court action) with at least one non-court process (e.g. protesting or lobbying) to achieve both aims.

They recognise how human rights create challenges in national and international contexts, including for minority groups, and examine Australia's legal response to international law and human rights.
In Topic 3, students continue to focus on human rights and explore how this area of law is addressed in Australia and Queensland. They explore the role of different groups in both protecting rights and influencing just and equitable outcomes.
