Unfair Dismissal Claims

Law Tram’s Unfair Dismissal Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Think You’ve Been Unfairly Dismissed From Work?

Unfair dismissal occurs when an employee is terminated in a way that is harsh, unjust or unreasonable or without proper procedure. This includes situations where you weren’t given a valid reason, weren’t warned, or weren’t given a chance to respond.

Strict time limits apply. You usually only have 21 days from the date of dismissal to lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission, so acting quickly is essential.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can assess your dismissal, explain your rights, and help you take the right next step — whether that’s negotiating a settlement or lodging a formal claim.
