We Understand What You Are Going Through
General protection claims often arise unexpectedly and can feel disproportionate to the decision that triggered them. You may have made a termination, disciplinary decision, or workplace change for legitimate reasons, only to face allegations that the action was unlawful.
These claims can be particularly challenging because they involve questions of motive, timing, and intent, rather than just process. Short timeframes and unfamiliar procedures can add pressure at an already sensitive point.
We understand the challenges employers face when dealing with general protections matters. We help you work through the issues in a calm and practical way, so decisions about how to respond are informed, strategic, and defensible.

- Assessing whether alleged conduct constitutes adverse action under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth)
- Preparing and lodging responses to general protections applications
