我们来打开澳洲比较大的一个工作网站：http://www.seek.com.au，搜索一下女性比较集中的行业，比如，幼儿教师。在结果中，没有一个工作描述中有性别和年龄要求。
 
 
再来搜索一下男性比较集中的行业，比如说建筑。 也没有性别和年龄要求 。但在工作描述中，你会看到这个工作的许多具体要求，比如说，要举重物，可能要额外加班，要在某些时刻临时轮班倒等等，这样如果你觉得不合适，你就不会去应聘了。 

在澳大利亚政府人权官方网站上，有详细的法律法规，对招聘中的性别，年龄，肤色，残疾歧视做了严格规定。
Direct age discrimination happens when a person is treated less favourably because of their age than a person of another age group would be treated in the same or similar circumstances. It could be direct age discrimination if a person who is the best person for the job is not employed simply because of their age.
当两个处在不同年龄组的应聘者在相同或相似的环境下，仅仅因为一个应聘者的年龄而被认为没有另外一个应聘者更合适这份工作，则被视为年龄歧视。一个最适合此项工作的人，因为年龄而没有被雇佣，则被视为年龄歧视。

Direct sex discrimination means being treated less favourably because of one's sex, marital status, pregnancy or the potential to become pregnant. It would be direct sex discrimination if a company paid men more than women who are doing the same work. It would also be sex discrimination if a bank refused to approve a loan because the applicant was an unmarried or divorced woman (direct discrimination on the basis of marital status).

性别歧视是因为一个人的性别，婚姻状况，怀孕期间，或将要怀孕而被视为不合适人选。如果一个男人和一个女人在做着相同的工作，而却得到不同的薪水，则被视为性别歧视。银行因为申请者是未结婚或离婚的女人而拒绝提供贷款则被视为性别歧视。
Direct disability discrimination happens when a person with a disability is treated less favourably than a person without a disability would be treated in the same or similar circumstances.
残疾歧视
Racial discrimination is treating someone less favourably because of his or her race, colour, descent, national origin or ethnic origin than someone of a different 'race' would be treated in a similar situation. This is known as 'direct discrimination'.
肤色歧视
在路边的小店，饭店，咖啡厅等门口粘贴的小广告里，招聘一般的接待员或杂工，也从来没有性别和年龄的要求。
