The Workplace Relations Commission found Soniya George’s complaint of discrimination on gender and family status grounds could not succeed. The decision, dated 18 December 2024, concerned the Talbot Group’s failure to provide her with a safe, salaried alternative role during pregnancy-related health and safety leave. George said the delay left her on reduced health and safety benefit and that other pregnant staff had received alternative work. The Talbot Group said only 11 of its 56 units were safe for pregnant workers and none had a vacant staff nurse position. The adjudicator found George had not established facts from which discrimination on either ground could be inferred.
