If you have just been dismissed, the most important fact is the time limit: an unfair dismissal application has to be made within days, not months, of the dismissal taking effect. We act for employees and small employers from Bundoora and across Melbourne's north, and we will tell you in the first conversation whether you have a claim worth making.
Most workplace disputes are decided on the documents — the contract, the award or agreement that covers the job, and the messages exchanged in the weeks before things went wrong. Many are resolved at conciliation without ever reaching a hearing. Whether you are an employee who has lost a job or a small business facing a claim, we will explain what the law actually requires and what a realistic outcome looks like.
People in Bundoora often come to us with workplace issues that have built up over time—unfair treatment, pay disputes, sudden dismissals, or disagreements over contract terms. Many work in small to medium businesses, healthcare, education or service roles across the northern suburbs. Before seeing a lawyer, it helps to gather what you have: payslips, emails, messages, your contract or any written agreement, notes on what happened and when, and a clear picture of what you want to resolve. Understanding whether you've raised the issue with your employer yet, and how they responded, matters too. We can then review everything with you and work out what steps are realistic from here.
Tell us when your employment ended and how. We'll tell you straight away whether a time limit is running and what your options are.
Leave your name and number — we call you straight back, usually within 2 minutes (8am–8pm), to understand your situation and book you in with the right lawyer. No cost, no obligation. Outside those hours we'll text you and call first thing.
We meet clients online right across Victoria — or in person at 911 High Street, Reservoir VIC 3073.
