Employment law in Australia is governed by the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) at federal level and various state long-service and anti-discrimination Acts. The most common matters — unfair dismissal, general protections, discrimination, contract review, restraint of trade — have strict time limits (21 days from dismissal for unfair dismissal applications to the Fair Work Commission). Get advice early.
