We help workers navigate complex workplace laws, to ensure they have the chance of a fair outcome when facing up to their past or current employer. We use our work with clients and stakeholders to identify and address key concerns within workplaces throughout Australia.
Justice Connect and JobWatch have developed a referral pathway for workers with general protections or unfair dismissal conciliations in the Fair Work Commission. If a person is eligible for assistance, we use our network of pro bono lawyers to ensure they get the legal support their need at the conciliation. If no settlement is reached, we consider whether we can help further.
All too often, employers are not paying employees’ full entitlements. We can refer people to our network of pro bono lawyers for advice on their claim and options, and representation in making a claim.
Everyone should feel safe at work. But many employers are not doing enough to stop sexual harassment and discrimination in their workplace. We connect people with legal information to empower them to use their workplace rights, and can help people pursue claims against employers.
Every year, thousands of workers come to Australia in circumstances where they are susceptible exploitation. Unaware of their workplace rights and protections, these workers are often subjected to slave-like conditions where they are severely underpaid and exploited. Working with community legal centres and our network of pro bono lawyers, we connect these workers with the legal advice and assistance they need.
