Are You Eligible?

To lodge an unfair dismissal remedy application at the Fair Work Commission, there are certain criteria that needs to be met. Of course, every situation is different and there are other factors that may impact your eligibility. For instance, the number of employees your employer has, your length of service, or your expectation of future work if you were a casual can all affect your eligibility rights.

If you answer ‘yes’ to the questions below, you could be eligible:

Are you an employee & not a contractor?
Have you been dismissed, demoted or forced to resign?
Did your dismissal happen less than 21 days ago?
Were you working for an Australian business?
Were you working for more than 6 months?
Do you earn less than $167,500?

If you answered no to these questions but still feel you have been unfairly dismissed due to a factor beyond your control, our team may be able to assist. We cover general protections claims in the event that you are dismissed due to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or otherwise.
