Workclaims Australia are registered industrial agents equipped to deal with a range of national workplace relations issues. We provide legal advice, representing parties at all stages of the complaint process from raising a claim, mediation, hearing, tribunal or - in rare cases - going to court. Our own thorough knowledge of the Fair Work Act 2009 means we can advise you on the best way to approach your rights.
Remember, THE DAY YOU ARE DISMISSED the clock starts ticking on your 21 day time limit in bringing an action for unfair dismissal. Engaging our services as early as possible in the process is imperative, even if your claim does not eventuate or you decide not to follow through.

Services
Workplace disputes CAN be resolved efficiently and economically. Unfortunately, it is usually not in the best interests of traditional law firms to do this, so individuals are unnecessarily dragged through a lengthy and expensive process. Workclaims Australia resolve workplace disputes at a personal level.
Workclaims Australia provides legal services for problems encountered by Australian workers in the workplace. Most of our work is with people who have matters that need to go to the Fair Work Commission or to the Western Australian Industrial Relations Commission. We are leaders in unfair dismissal services, but also take care of worker's compensation claims with a special boutique division devoted to Seafarers and also Comcare covered workers.
Unfair dismissals are the largest category of applications received each year by the Fair Work Commission, representing more than 40 per cent of total applications made. It can be confronting to receive an email from the Fair Work Commission letting you know an application has been made for an unfair dismissal.
I didn't even know there was a problem with my performance and then Friday at 5pm they told me not to return the following week. I had already passed my 3-month probationary period by 2 weeks! Doesn't look good for you, Xavier. Under the Fair Work Act 2009 there is a requirement that in order to make an unfair dismissal claim, you must have served a minimum employment period of 6 months.
Workclaims Australia charge a fraction of the cost of lawyers, and we are highly focused on resolution and outcomes, with no interest in making the process longer than necessary. We have a range of fee structures for various stages of actions, depending on their complexity and urgency. We aim to be flexible and open about your prospects of success, potential risks and costs so you can make an informed decision.

Having never been in a situation for age discrimination before, I sought out a referral for a lawyer that could help me and Patrick came very highly recommended from a close friend. Patrick is very knowledgeable and for the first time in a long time, I felt that someone is on my side. He listened to everything I had been through and had to say. He then gave me indepth options on how to proceed. I cannot fault his representation and feel that he wants to win for the underdog in these cases. I have even referred him to friends myself. Thank you Patrick for fantastic and thoroughly professional representation

Patrick is wise, clear, empathic and has a fantastic understanding of the Fair Work Commission and its workings. We were very impressed with his work, and grateful for his support through a period of great stress. And we won! The employer folded only days prior to the hearing and restored employment with continuity intact.
