Transparent and affordable pricing

Why choose our HR consulting services

  • We have the right to represent you: As an employer association, we have automatic standing to represent our members. We’re able to appear even in cases where legal representation is denied. Private lawyers or paid agents must seek permission from the FWC to appear. We exist to provide practical, affordable support to Queensland businesses.
  • Hands-on expertise in employer defence: Many HR teams or lawyers lack the practical experience to navigate the complexities of Fair Work Commission proceedings. Our advisors have attended hundreds of conciliations and hearings, giving you a clear advantage when responding to claims.
  • We’re independent and not-for-profit: We exist to provide practical, affordable support to businesses.
