Solution

The two Australian legal frameworks that consist of anti-discrimination legislation at both Commonwealth and state/territory levels, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the context of employment are:

  1. Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth): This Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person, in many areas of public life, including employment, education, getting or using services, renting or buying a house or unit, and accessing public places, because of their disability.

  2. Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (State/Territory): This Act provides protection from discrimination at work and in a range of other areas. The legislation applies to public and private sector employers and employees, except where exemptions apply. The Act covers various types of disability, including physical, intellectual and psychiatric disabilities, learning and emotional disorders, and any organism capable of causing disease.

It's important to note that each state and territory in Australia has its own anti-discrimination law that may differ slightly, but all broadly cover the same grounds and areas of public life.
