Fair Work Commission representation

If you've lost your job, we'll fight for you to make things right

Call 1800 UNFAIR for a straight conversation about where you stand.

We act for employees only

We represent people who have been dismissed, never employers. The only side we are on is yours.

We carry the process

The application, the 21 day deadline, and the back and forth with your employer. We take it on so you can focus on what comes next.

We tell you the truth

We will not promise a payout or a guaranteed result. If a representative does, treat that as a reason to walk away.

How we help

We take the stress away

Losing your job is stressful enough. We handle your unfair dismissal claim from start to finish: the paperwork, the 21 day deadline, and the dealings with your employer. You focus on what comes next, and we deal with the Fair Work Commission.

Lodge your claim

We prepare and file your unfair dismissal application with the Fair Work Commission, inside the 21 day deadline.

Deal with your employer

We handle the correspondence and the negotiation with your employer and their representatives, so you do not have to.

Represent you at conciliation

We speak for you at the Commission's conciliation conference and put your case.

Appear at a hearing

If your matter proceeds to arbitration, we can seek the Commission's leave to appear and represent you at the hearing.

Our fee

No Win, No Fee

We handle almost all unfair dismissal cases on a no win no fee basis. If your claim does not succeed, you do not pay us a fee. In the rare case it is not available, we will tell you before you engage.

What it's worth

What a claim can achieve

The remedies are financial compensation or, in some cases, getting your job back. Here is what is realistic, in plain terms.

How it is worked out

Based on what you lost

Compensation reflects what the dismissal actually cost you and how long you were out of work, not the maximum the law allows.

The most possible

26 weeks' pay, capped at $95,050

The lesser of the two, and awards at the cap are rare.

The remedies

Compensation, or your job back

Reinstatement is possible but ordered infrequently. Nothing is paid for shock, distress, or humiliation.

We will not over-promise. If anyone guarantees you a maximum payout, a guaranteed reinstatement, or a "reversed" dismissal, treat that as a reason to walk away.
