Dismissed, or in dispute with your employer, in Bundoora?

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.

Common questions

Employment law in Bundoora — FAQs

How long do I have to make an unfair dismissal claim?
Very little time. The application must be lodged within a short, strict period that starts from the day the dismissal took effect, and it is only extended in exceptional circumstances. If you have been dismissed in the last few weeks, contact us now rather than after you have thought about it.
Can I claim if I was casual, or only there a few months?
Possibly. Eligibility for unfair dismissal depends on things like how long you worked, the size of the business and whether your work was regular. Even where unfair dismissal is not available, a general protections or underpayment claim might be. We will work out which, if any, fits.
I'm an employer and a former employee has made a claim. What now?
Respond to the Commission by the date it gives you, and get advice before the conciliation conference — most claims settle or fall away at that stage, and what is said there shapes the outcome.
What does it cost?
The first consultation is a fixed fee, quoted before you book. After that we quote each stage — conciliation, then a hearing if it goes that far — so you are never exposed to an open-ended bill.
