The law offers protection by setting minimum standards for your workplace rights and entitlements. If you believe that your employer is not meeting these standards, you have the right to seek advice and support.
Legal support can help you understand your situation, and if necessary take action to assert your employment rights and entitlements.
There are a range of organisations available to help you understand your work entitlements:
If you are struggling to pay a fine or believe that it has been issued unfairly, legal resources are available to provide guidance and support.

This may include helping you understand your rights under the law, assisting with making complaints, support in navigating the processes in resolving discrimination issues, or taking legal action.
