WRC rejects Dylan Prinsen’s discrimination complaint against Southgate Dental

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Southgate Dental did not engage in prohibited behaviour in a disability discrimination complaint brought by Dylan Prinsen. The decision was dated 6 January 2023. Prinsen said staff refused him treatment because he could not wear a face covering. The adjudicator found he had not provided credible evidence of a disability that prevented him from wearing a mask, and that the clinic was unaware of any such disability. The WRC found he was denied a service, but attributed this to his own actions rather than discrimination.
