Understanding your workplace rights.

Issues at work can develop quickly and are not always straightforward. You may be dealing with a dismissal, a change to your role, concerns about treatment at work or uncertainty about what your employer can and cannot do.

In many cases, the legal position is not clear from the outset. What matters is understanding where you stand, what your options are and what steps to take next.

We advise employees across Western Australia on a range of workplace matters, helping you make informed decisions based on your circumstances rather than assumptions.

Clear advice at the right time.

Employment issues are often time sensitive. There may be strict deadlines for making a claim or responding to a process.

We provide advice that is direct and tailored to your situation, helping you understand the implications of your options before taking the next step.

FAQ.

Common questions we hear.

  • In most cases, you have 21 days from the date your employment ends to lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission.

  • Changes to employment terms usually require agreement. The position depends on the contract and the nature of the change.

  • Not always, but early advice can help you understand your rights and avoid steps that may affect your position later.

  • The first step is to understand whether the conduct breaches workplace laws or policies. From there, you can consider internal processes or external options.
