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 timing is held for a named admitted solicitor's review before you rely on anything.

Is this legal advice?

No. newlaw.ai gives AI-assisted information; it is not legal advice. Tailored output is held until a named admitted solicitor reviews it, and for tailored help you can engage a practising firm of your choice.
