35 Exemptions – work
(1) A person may discriminate against another person in the area of
work:
(a) by fixing reasonable terms and conditions if that other person,
because of age or disability, has a restricted capacity to do the
work; or
(b) if the discrimination is based:
(i) on a genuine occupational qualification which the other
person is required to fill; or
(ii) on the other person's inability to adequately perform the
inherent requirements of the work even where the
special need of the other person has been or were to be
accommodated.
(2) A person may discriminate in offering work where the work is to be
performed in the person's home.
