The Code is divided into an introductory section, or "preamble", followed by seven parts.
Part I sets out basic rights and responsibilities.
Part II explains how the code is interpreted and applied.
Part III explains the role and structure of the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC).
Part IV explains the role and structure of the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO).
Part IV.1 establishes the Human Rights Legal Support Centre (HRLSC) and sets out its governance.
Part V deals with general matters such as the power to make regulations and sets out that the Human Rights Code has primacy over other provincial legislation (section 47(2)).
Part VI of the Code deals with the transition from the "old" system, where complaints were investigated by the Ontario Human Rights Commission to the 'new" system (which took effect on June 30, 2008) where applications are now filed directly with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario without any investigation.
