Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Kathleen Stokes's complaint that Touch Of Beauty Skin & Laser Clinic Limited discriminated against her on the Traveller Community ground. The decision was dated 31 January 2022.

Stokes said a receptionist told her and her family they were barred from the salon. The salon said she had arrived without an appointment for a facial and no slots were available. The adjudication officer found Stokes had not established a case of discrimination and said she had been invited to make an appointment.
