That is the message from one central Sydney retailer that may have breached the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act with its “Korean speakers only” employment policy.
Fashion and beauty store Alice’s Diary in the heart of Koreatown, on Liverpool Street, is advertising for “Korean staff” at their World Square shop.
Two non-Korean Daily Telegraph staff members who tried to test their employment policy by inquiring about the job were turned away, one in less than two minutes.
The shop could be breaching the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act, which makes it illegal for an employer to use race as a deciding factor in who should be offered a job.
I can understand they need korean-speaking ppl if that's what their business is about, but they should have worded it " Must Speak Korean". Maybe they didn't know.
What the Law Says:
The NSW Anti-Discrimination Act makes it illegal for an employer to use race as a deciding factor in determining who should be offered employment, and on what terms the job is offered. Exceptions to this rule exist in welfare jobs that are targeted to help a person of a particular race, and in acting, modelling or hospitality jobs where people of a certain race are required for “authenticity”.
