In 2024–25 alone, the Fair Work Ombudsman recovered $358 million in unpaid wages and entitlements for more than 249,000 workers (over $2 billion across the last five years). Most of these cases don't start with bad intentions; they start with contracts, policies or pay practices that were never properly checked.

Getting HR compliance right isn't red tape. It's protection for your business and your people.

What's included

  • Employment contracts, drafted or reviewed to reflect how your business actually operates
  • Award coverage and pay rate advice
  • Workplace policies and staff handbooks
  • HR documentation audits, identifying gaps before they become problems
  • Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) support, where relevant

Why this matters

  • Contracts and policies copied from a template rarely hold up to scrutiny
  • Award interpretation errors are one of the most common (and costly) compliance failures for small businesses
  • A documentation audit is far cheaper than fixing a problem after a Fair Work complaint

Engagement options

Project-based

Fixed-scope support for a specific piece of work. Ideal if you need HR project work or a one-off compliance review, without the ongoing commitment of a full-time position.

Retainer partnership

Ongoing HR generalist support on a retainer basis. Ideal if you want a consistent HR partner for your business as it grows.

Common questions

View all FAQs

How do I know if my business is compliant?

If you're unsure whether your contracts, policies or pay practices meet current requirements, an HR documentation audit is the place to start.

Do you help with Award interpretation specifically?

Yes. Award coverage and pay rate advice is a core part of this service.

Is this a one-off or ongoing service?

Either. It's available as a defined project (for example, a policy review) or as part of an ongoing HR advisory partnership.
