If you’ve been treated unfairly at work, dismissed after an injury, or subjected to bullying or harassment, it’s important to understand that you have legal rights. Getting clear legal advice early can help you understand your options and take the right steps to protect your job, your health, and your financial security.

Unfair Dismissal
If you have been dismissed from your job and believe the decision was harsh, unjust or unreasonable, you may be eligible to lodge an unfair dismissal claim.
This can arise where there was no valid reason for termination, you were not given an opportunity to respond to allegations, or your employer failed to follow a fair process. Strict time limits apply (generally 21 days from dismissal), so it is important to act quickly. Remedies can include reinstatement to your position or compensation for lost wages.
Workplace Bullying
Employees are entitled to a safe workplace free from repeated unreasonable behaviour that creates a risk to their health and safety.
Workplace bullying can include verbal abuse, intimidation, humiliation, exclusion, or excessive micromanagement. If bullying has caused you psychological or physical injury, you may be entitled to seek workers’ compensation or apply for orders to stop the bullying.
Early legal advice can help you understand the most appropriate course of action.
Adverse Action Claims
It is unlawful for an employer to take adverse action against you because you exercised a workplace right — such as making a complaint, taking leave, joining a union, or lodging a workers’ compensation claim.
Adverse action can include dismissal, demotion, reduction in hours, or other detrimental treatment. These claims focus on the reason behind the employer’s conduct, and successful claims may result in compensation, penalties against the employer, or reinstatement.
How to Make a Claim
Making a claim for early access to your superannuation or a Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) benefit in Queensland can be complex, particularly when you are already dealing with a serious injury or illness. We begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to assess your circumstances, review your superannuation fund and any attached insurance policies, and explain your potential entitlements. This allows you to understand where you stand before taking the next steps.
If you choose to proceed, we manage the entire claims process on your behalf. This includes gathering medical and employment evidence, preparing and lodging claim forms, and handling all communication with your superannuation fund and insurer. Our goal is to reduce your stress and ensure your claim is properly prepared and presented.
