1.4 Other remedies

If you have been unfairly dismissed, there may be laws other than unfair dismissal laws that offer a remedy.

These include:

A discrimination complaint under state or federal anti-discrimination legislation;
A breach of contract or breach of industrial instrument claim in the common law courts;
A Workers Compensation claim;
A complaint of breach of Occupational Health and Safety laws; or
A claim of misleading and deceptive conduct.

Choosing the best option at the outset is important. You should seek advice from a lawyer, union or community legal centre.
