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 Dandenong and across Melbourne's south-east, 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.
Employment disputes in Dandenong often arise when someone has been dismissed, been asked to resign, or treated unfairly at work. Sometimes it's about unpaid entitlements or a sudden change to shifts or duties. Before you come in, write down what happened—dates, conversations, emails, any warnings or notices you received, and what you were told your role would be. Gather payslips and any employment contract or offer letter you have. If you've been stood down or dismissed, note whether you were given a reason and whether anyone mentioned redundancy, performance, conduct or misconduct. The firm can then review what you've collected and talk through what happened step by step.
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.
