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 Thomastown 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 Thomastown often approach employment issues when they're facing dismissal, workplace disputes or uncertainty about their rights and obligations on the job. A lot of the time someone's been told their role is ending, or there's been a conflict with management that's left them wondering where they stand. Before talking to a lawyer, it helps to gather any relevant documents—emails, letters, employment contracts, payslips, written warnings or notes about conversations. Write down a timeline of what's happened. Jotting down the key facts means we can look at your situation clearly and work through what practical steps might be available.
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.
