Single sex accommodation
30 Single sex accommodation
(1) It is not unlawful for a person to discriminate on the basis of sex
against another person with respect to a matter that is otherwise prohibited
under subdivision 1 if the other person is required to live in accommodation
supplied by the first person and— (a) the accommodation is not equipped with
separate sleeping accommodation for people of each sex; and
(b) the
accommodation is already occupied by a person or people of one sex and is not
occupied by anyone of the opposite sex; and
(c) the supply of separate
sleeping accommodation for people of each sex would impose
unjustifiable hardship on the first person.
(2) Whether the supply of
separate sleeping accommodation for people of each sex would impose
unjustifiable hardship on a person depends on all the relevant circumstances
of the case, including, for example— (a) the nature of the accommodation;
and
(b) the cost of supplying the separate sleeping accommodation and the
number of people who would benefit or be disadvantaged; and
(c) the financial
circumstances of the person; and
(d) the disruption that supplying the
separate sleeping accommodation might cause; and
(e) the nature of any
benefit or detriment to all people concerned.
