A public entity can include three types:

• Core public entities, which generally includes a government department, public service employees, Minsters, etc
• Functional public entity
• Opt in entity; means an organisation that chooses to be subject ot the obligations of the Act.

A functional public entity is an organisation that is performing functions of a public nature. This can include organisations receiving government funding, such as community services, disability services, NDIS registered providers and housing providers.

With a guest speaker from the Queensland Human Rights Commission, this webinar is aimed at helping the social service sector identify if they’re performing functions as a functional public entity, and if so, what are their obligations? Importantly, we will discuss what do you do as a functional entity if you receive a human rights complaint.
