I’m an Islamic wedding photographer. Will I be in trouble if I decline to photograph a same-sex wedding ceremony? I’m a doctor and I am uncomfortable with prescribing some medication and referring patients for certain procedures. Am I able to practice medicine according to my conscience?

Answer

In general, if you are providing a service in an Australian state or territory you cannot deny the provision of that service to someone on the basis of their sexuality. If you do this you could have someone bring a discrimination complaint against you.
