About us

Unfairly Sacked · WA Employment Help

We help Western Australian employees challenge unfair and unlawful dismissals. Our focus is on clear advice, practical outcomes and fair treatment for workers who have lost their jobs or are being pushed out.

Losing your job is stressful. It affects your income, your family and your confidence – often overnight. On top of that, you’re expected to understand complex employment laws and strict time limits just to protect your rights.

Unfairly Sacked · WA exists to make this simpler for employees. We explain your options in plain English, help you decide whether it’s worth pursuing a claim, and, where appropriate, represent you in negotiations and unfair dismissal proceedings.

We act for employees only – not employers – so you know exactly whose side we are on.

How we work

Our values

We know you’re coming to us at a stressful time. Our approach is built around clarity, respect and realistic advice.

Clarity
Straightforward, honest advice

We explain your options, time limits and likely outcomes in clear, direct language. You will know where you stand, what the risks are, and what we think is realistically achievable.

Employees only
We don’t act for employers

Our focus is on protecting the rights of workers. We are not “neutral” between employers and employees – our role is to help you as a worker navigate an uneven playing field.

Practical outcomes
Fair, workable resolutions

While we prepare matters thoroughly, most cases resolve through negotiation or conciliation. We aim for fair, practical outcomes – not litigation for its own sake.

Scope

Who we help – and what we don’t do

Being clear about who we act for and the types of matters we handle helps you decide quickly whether we are the right fit.

Who we help

  • Employees in Western Australia who have been dismissed, made redundant or pressured to resign.
  • Workers who have received warnings, show-cause letters or performance plans and are worried it is leading to dismissal.
  • Employees offered a settlement or deed after their employment has ended and who want independent advice before signing.

What we are not

  • We do not act for employers or HR on the other side of disputes.
  • We are not a general law firm. Our focus is on employment dismissal and related workplace issues.
  • We cannot guarantee a particular outcome – but we will be frank about your prospects and options.
Approach

Our approach to unfair dismissal cases

Every case is different, but there are common steps we take to make sure you are heard and your matter is properly presented.

  • Listen first. We take the time to understand what actually happened – not just what is written in the employer’s documents.
  • Identify the issues. Was the dismissal harsh, unjust or unreasonable? Were proper procedures followed? Were there warnings, support or alternatives?
  • Review key documents. Contracts, letters, emails, text messages, performance plans and meeting notes often tell a different story to the one presented by the employer.
  • Explain your options clearly. We outline whether an unfair dismissal, general protections or other type of claim may be available, and what each path involves.
  • Prepare thoroughly. If you proceed, we help prepare statements and materials so your side of the story is clearly put forward in conciliation or negotiations.
  • Aim for fair resolution. Wherever possible, we aim to resolve matters through agreement – for example, compensation, corrected records and agreed references.
