D. Is there a time limit for lodging a complaint?

Yes.  There are time limits for lodging a complaint with the University's Panel Against Discrimination and Sexual Harassment, the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) and taking court action.  The Panel Convenor may decide not to conduct an investigation into a complaint if a period of more than 6 months has elapsed beginning when the act was done or thirty (30) working days after conciliation has been ended.

If you want to lodge a complaint with EOC, you should do it within 12 months after the incident has taken place.  Any decision to take legal proceedings to the District Court should be made within 2 years after the incident has taken place.
