Any person or representative aggrieved by a discriminatory practice or act contrary to the provisions of the Indiana civil rights laws may file a complaint with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC). A complaint must be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of  the last occurrence of the discriminatory act (except in housing cases). A complaint alleging a discriminatory housing practice must be filed within one (1) year from the date of the last occurrence.

Please Note: Submitting an inquiry alone does not mean that a formal complaint has been filed or accepted by ICRC. An inquiry is the first step in the process and allows ICRC staff to review the information you provide and determine whether your allegations may fall within the Commission’s jurisdiction. A complaint becomes formalized only after a Charge of Discrimination has been prepared and signed by the complainant.
