Where complexity meets clarity - Visual Legal

Visual Legal can assist employers defending unfair dismissal claims at the Fair Work Commission, including preparing responses, gathering evidence, and representing you in conciliation or hearings. For employees believing a dismissal was harsh, unjust, or unreasonable, we guide you through the application process, assess eligibility, explain remedies like reinstatement or compensation, and provide focused support to pursue a fair outcome.

We help employers navigate genuine redundancy processes—consulting employees, calculating entitlements, and ensuring compliance to avoid unfair dismissal risks. For employees facing redundancy, we review whether it's genuine, check notice and payout obligations, advise on redeployment options, and support challenges if the process falls short. Our approach is clear, practical, and tailored to protect your position.

Visual Legal drafts, reviews, and updates employment contracts, modern award compliance, and workplace policies for employers to minimise disputes and ensure legal protection. Employees receive advice on contract terms, entitlements, variations, or breaches. We'll assess your needs in a no-pressure meeting, explain obligations plainly, and help create or enforce agreements that support fair, workable relationships.

We support employers developing anti-bullying policies, investigating complaints, and responding to Fair Work Commission stop-bullying applications. For employees experiencing bullying, harassment, or psychosocial hazards, we guide you through reporting, applications for orders to stop bullying, and resolution steps. Confidential assessment, clear explanations, and dedicated help focus on safe, respectful workplaces.

Visual Legal advises employers on avoiding adverse action claims (e.g., for exercising workplace rights) and defending applications at the Fair Work Commission. Employees claiming discrimination, coercion, or unlawful termination receive support to lodge claims, assess evidence, and seek remedies. We explain protections plainly and provide practical assistance for fair resolutions.

We guide employers through fair performance improvement plans, warnings, and disciplinary actions to reduce dismissal risks. Employees facing performance issues or disciplinary meetings get advice on rights, responses, and protections. In confidential consultations, we clarify processes, prepare you effectively, and offer support to achieve constructive, compliant outcomes.

For employers, we assist with underpayment audits, award compliance, and defending claims for unpaid wages, super, or leave. Employees pursuing recovery of entitlements receive help assessing claims, negotiating settlements, or pursuing Fair Work Ombudsman/Fair Work Commission action. Our focus is transparent advice and efficient resolution tailored to your situation.
