Australian employees have legal rights to request flexible working arrangements in certain situations. This includes changes to hours, patterns of work or location such as working from home. But employers can refuse requests on reasonable business grounds, and the rules around eligibility and procedure are often misunderstood.
Whether you’re returning from parental leave, managing a disability, balancing care responsibilities or adapting to life changes, it’s important to know how to make a proper request and what to do if it’s rejected.
Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can assess your eligibility, help you prepare a clear request and support you if a dispute arises.
Start by completing our secure online questionnaire. This step allows you to provide essential details about your employment and the changes you're seeking.
Law Tram’s advanced technology generates a confidential legal summary of your matter while keeping your personal and employment details private.
Your confidential legal summary is shared with our network of vetted lawyers who review your case to determine how they can assist.
If a lawyer believes they can help, they will initiate a chat with you through the Law Tram platform. Your contact details remain private unless you choose to share them.
You are under no pressure to retain any lawyer unless you are confident in their ability to assist. Law Tram empowers you to make informed decisions.
