How we do it

As well as advising on contracts and policies, we are able to respond to Fair Work Commission (FWC) and anti-discrimination tribunal applications, Fair Work Ombudsman (FWO) investigations, provide advice on industrial relations strategies, and to work with managers to give them the skills and knowledge to run procedurally fair processes and investigations.
