Fair Work Commission

The Fair Work Commission is Australia’s national workplace relations tribunal, responsible for dealing with a wide range of employment matters, including unfair dismissal claims, general protections disputes, industrial action and enterprise agreement approvals.

While the Commission is designed to provide an accessible forum for resolving workplace disputes, in practice many matters involve experienced representatives and require careful preparation and strategy.
