discrimination, harassment, bullying, or unfair dismissal?

Not every difficult workplace issue is unlawful discrimination. A person may be discriminated against if an employer takes adverse action or treats them unfairly because of a protected personal characteristic. That can include race, age, disability, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, family responsibilities, political opinion, and other protected grounds.

Sexual harassment and workplace bullying can overlap with discrimination, but they are not always the same claim. In some matters, employees have been treated unfairly during a performance process, while negotiating flexible work, after raising concerns, or after changes in a company restructure. In other matters, discrimination may affect promotion opportunities, pay, duties, or whether a person can safely continue working in the workplace.

Ebra Partners’ employment law team can help you work out the strongest path before legal problems grow larger or start to affect your work health, income, or family life.

Why early advice matters

Deadlines can be very short

For unfair dismissal, general protections dismissal, and unlawful termination matters, the Fair Work Commission says applications usually need to be lodged within 21 days after the dismissal takes effect. Missing that deadline can significantly affect your options, your claim, and your ability to seek the best outcome.

Evidence can decide the outcome

Our employment lawyers often assist by gathering emails, messages, diary notes, workplace policies, witness accounts, medical material, and company records. Strong evidence can support a workplace discrimination claim, a complaint, or proceedings in the Fair Work Commission, the Australian Human Rights Commission, or the Federal Court.

At Ebra Partners, our lawyers help clients organise the evidence that matters most, including proof of harassment, changes in treatment, complaint history, comparator evidence, and the way an employer responded. Good preparation can strengthen your claim and place you in a better position during negotiations, conciliation, or formal proceedings.
