Common questions

How long do I have to lodge an unfair dismissal claim?

In most cases you have 21 days from the date your dismissal took effect to lodge with the Fair Work Commission. The window is short, so the intake flags it early and a solicitor reviews timing before you rely on anything.

Is this legal advice?

No. NewLaw.ai gives AI-assisted information, reviewed by an admitted Australian solicitor; it is not legal advice. For tailored advice you are connected with a practising firm.
