澳大利亚人权委员会最新报告揭示，职场对孕妇、育儿假期间及返岗员工的歧视现象在过去12年仍未明显改善1。根据调查，近49%的母亲在孕期、育儿假或重返工作岗位期间经历过歧视1。报告确认了多种普遍的歧视做法，包括虚假裁员、缩减工作职责以及拒绝灵活工作安排等1。
尽管歧视问题广泛存在，但绝大多数受害者未采取法律行动。调查显示，91%遭遇歧视的人因工作压力、害怕报复或法律认知不足等原因，未曾提交正式投诉1。澳大利亚人权委员会收到的孕期歧视投诉数量呈上升趋势，从2021年的54起增加到2025年的72起1。
报告指出，第一民族、移民、少数族裔、残障人士和LGBTQI+群体面临更加严重的交叉歧视1。为应对这一问题，澳大利亚人权委员会提出18项改革建议，包括修正《性别歧视法》以禁止基于家庭责任的间接歧视，以及取消获得无薪育儿假需满足12个月工作要求的规定1。
The Australian Human Rights Commission has released a report revealing that workplace discrimination during pregnancy, parental leave, and return-to-work periods has not improved significantly over the past 12 years, with nearly 49% of mothers reporting experiences of such discrimination 1. The report documents common discriminatory patterns including sham dismissals, reduction of responsibilities, and refusal to grant flexible work arrangements 1. To address these systemic issues, the Commission has put forward 18 reform recommendations, notably including amendments to sex discrimination legislation to prohibit indirect discrimination based on family responsibilities 1.
Of those who experienced discrimination, 91% did not lodge formal complaints, citing stress, fear of retaliation, or insufficient legal knowledge as barriers 1. Complaints of pregnancy discrimination received by the Human Rights Commission have risen from 54 cases in 2021 to 72 cases in 2025 1. The report further highlights that First Nations peoples, immigrants, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQI+ individuals face compounded discrimination across multiple grounds 1. Among the key recommendations is the removal of the 12-month work requirement to access unpaid parental leave 1.
