File a discrimination complaint

Find out if you've come to the right place to make a discrimination or harassment complaint, what rules you need to follow, the forms you need, and how the complaints process works.

Notice about timelines Currently, due to a high volume of complaints and limited resources, the Commission cannot guarantee processing times. We continue to triage and prioritize cases where the alleged discrimination is ongoing or severe. All cases are dealt with as efficiently as possible. The details of your complaint may result in faster or slower processing times.

You need to know 

  • You should file a complaint at the Commission within 12 months of the incident or treatment that you wish to complain about. This rule still applies even if you are also using a separate process at another organization to raise your complaint. The Commission can make exceptions to this timeline in certain circumstances.
  • You can file a complaint on behalf of others if you have their consent.
  • You don't need to pay a fee to file a complaint.
  • You don't need to hire a lawyer or get other legal assistance. If you decide to hire legal help, you are responsible for paying the associated costs.
  • The Commission is impartial, and it does not take your side or the respondent's.
