Unfair Dismissal Experts Pty Ltd (UDE) is a specialist industrial relations firm that operates exclusively in the Fair Work Commission’s jurisdiction. We support employees around Australia who have experienced unfair dismissal or adverse action in their workplace. We do this by preparing applications on their behalf, attending conciliations to negotiate outcomes with their former employers, and representing them at hearings.

We have a team of experienced lawyers and industrial relations consultants who help hundreds of clients each year navigate through the complex Fair Work Commission framework. We embrace flexibility, automation, and technology and, as such, all of our staff work remotely.

As well as offering exposure to real-life clients and advocacy work, UDE is part of Monash University’s Clinical Legal Education Program. We provide mentoring to support UDE alumni from all universities. Many UDE alumni have gone on to roles at top-tier firms, government departments, and judges’ associateships. We pride ourselves on being a springboard for talented alumni.
