Unfair Dismissal Claims: Understanding the Process

Time limits apply strictly to unfair dismissal claims. An employee must lodge an application with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days of the dismissal taking effect. Missing this deadline can extinguish your right to pursue the matter entirely.

The process generally involves:

1. Lodging a Form F2 application with the Fair Work Commission.
2. Conciliation, where most matters are resolved confidentially.
3. If unresolved at conciliation, a formal hearing or arbitration before a Commissioner.

Our unfair dismissal lawyers Brisbane QLD clients trust will assess whether the dismissal was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable, advise on your prospects before you commit to proceedings, and represent you at each stage. Employers should note that a well-documented performance and disciplinary process is the most effective protection against a successful claim.

Workplace Discrimination Claims

Discrimination in the workplace is prohibited under both federal and Queensland legislation, including the Fair Work Act 2009, the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (QLD), the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. A claim may arise from conduct related to a protected attribute such as age, sex, race, disability, pregnancy, or religion.
