In the NSW system you can challenge the termination of your employment by making a claim of unfair dismissal. The claim is lodged with the NSW Industrial Relations Commission (IRC). There is no distinction between unfair dismissal and unlawful termination of employment as under the federal system.
The NSW system applies to employees who are not covered by a Federal award or agreement and who are employed by sole traders, partnerships, NSW government departments, and corporations that are not "constitutional corporations" (see section 2 for information on "constitutional corporations").
