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 South Morang 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 South Morang typically come to us when a workplace situation has become difficult to resolve on their own. This might be a dispute over pay, changes to your role or hours, treatment by management, or questions about whether you're being asked to do something that feels wrong. Before getting in touch, it helps to gather the documents you have—pay slips, emails, your employment agreement, any letters or messages about the issue. Write down a timeline of what happened and when. If there have been conversations about the problem, note what was said. We can then look at what you've collected and talk through your options and next steps.
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.
