At 1800ADVOCATES we recognise that pursuing an unfair dismissal claim in the Fair Work Commission can feel daunting, especially when workers are unsure about the costs involved.
While most people want full representation from start to finish, others may only need help with particular steps along the way.
To meet this need, we are introducing a new and innovative way to engage our services – a flexible stage-based fee structure. This allows you to select only the stages of work you require, while still having the reassurance of professional advocacy.

Our full representation service remains available at a fixed total of $3,850. However, with this flexible model, you can now choose individual stages of the unfair dismissal process:
Initial assessment and strategy session – $550 A careful and comprehensive review of your situation, eligibility, and potential remedies under the Fair Work Act.
Drafting and lodging the application – $770 Preparation and submission of your unfair dismissal application (Form F2) to the Fair Work Commission.
Response review and written submissions – $880 Review of the employer’s response, identification of key issues, and preparation of submissions.
Conciliation preparation – $660 Drafting an opening statement, reviewing supporting material, and ensuring you are ready for the conference.
Conciliation representation – $990 Advocacy on your behalf at the conciliation, negotiating settlement terms, and reviewing the deed of settlement.
When combined, these stages add up to the full-service fee of $3,850. However, you now have the option of engaging us only for the stages that matter most to you, providing greater choice and control.
It is important to note that this is not an offer of legal services or legal advice. We do not act as solicitors. We provide our services strictly as professional employment and human rights advocates, committed to supporting workers through a fair and transparent process.
This flexible engagement option reflects our commitment to making advocacy accessible to everyone. It empowers workers to seek the level of assistance they need without unnecessary cost, while ensuring that they receive strong and dedicated support where it matters most.
We may also be able to offer a similar service flexibility to other matters before the Fair Work Commission or Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals with an intention to develop a similar range of flexibility options for workers compensation appeals in the near future.
If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, or if you wish to learn more about this flexible engagement model, contact 1800ADVOCATES today.
