Office of Human Rights Proceedings

The Office of Human Rights Proceedings (OHRP) is an independent office within the Human Rights Commission (HRC).  It is headed by the Director of Human Rights Proceedings and has two solicitors and support staff.  The OHRP provides free legal representation to complainants to take selected discrimination cases to the Human Rights Review Tribunal (the Tribunal).  In some cases the OHRP will provide representation for appeals of Tribunal decisions to the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.  The Director also brings privacy cases under the Privacy Act 1993.
