Factsheets & Resources
BRQ produces fact sheets and guides translating complex law into plain English.
These resources explain how the law works, your rights and obligations and what to do when you believe an incorrect decision has been made or you have been discriminated against.
We also provide links to other organisations’ resources.
If you need advice particular to your situation, make a booking for our telephone advice line on 1800 358 511.
BRQ also provides capacity-building training to community-based, private sector and government workers.
Our resources are “legal information” only; they are not “legal advice”.
