An unfair dismissal claim is a legal application made by an employee who believes their termination was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable. In Australia, these claims are handled by the Fair Work Commission, which is not a formal court but a workplace tribunal designed to resolve such matters efficiently and fairly. Most claims are dealt with via phone conferences or online through Microsoft Teams, making the process straightforward and accessible.

The Fair Work Commission aims to help employees and employers resolve disputes without the need for expensive legal representation. This is why many employees successfully represent themselves, saving significant costs while still achieving fair outcomes.

If you believe you’ve been unfairly dismissed, it’s crucial to act quickly. The Fair Work Commission requires unfair dismissal claims to be lodged within 21 days of your termination. Don’t miss this important deadline—contact us today via email or WhatsApp to discuss your claim.

At Employment Hustle, we understand that being dismissed can feel overwhelming. Our service is designed to guide you through the unfair dismissal process step by step, giving you the tools and strategies to handle your claim with confidence. Here’s what we offer:

Initial Consultation: We’ll assess your situation, determine your eligibility, and explain the process in plain language.

Evidence and Statement Preparation: We help you organise the necessary documentation and craft a compelling argument for your case.

Drafting and Submission: We’ll draft and submit your unfair dismissal claim to the Fair Work Commission on your behalf, ensuring it meets all requirements.

Settlement Negotiation: For a flat fee of $249 + GST, we’ll negotiate with your former employer before the case reaches the Commission, using our proven strategies to secure the best outcome. If we succeed, a commission fee applies to the settlement amount.

Representation Preparation: If settlement isn’t achieved, we’ll equip you with everything you need to represent yourself, including a clear strategy, evidence preparation, and procedural guidance.

Unlike many services, we don’t push unnecessary legal representation. The dirty industry secret is that you don’t need a lawyer to succeed at the Fair Work Commission. The process is designed to be simple enough for individuals to manage themselves—and we’re here to make sure you feel ready to do just that.

Our approach keeps your costs low while giving you high-quality support and the confidence to represent yourself effectively. If you win your case without a settlement, you pay only the flat fee—because you did the hard work using our tools and strategies.
