Tasmanian Employment & Industrial Relations Law

The employment and industrial relations law landscape can be a tough one to navigate, especially for those who have not had to deal with these laws previously. Thankfully, we’re here to help people approach these laws with a distinct understanding and confidence.

If you have been involved in an incident in the workplace, contact a Simmons Wolfhagen lawyer for advice or representation in relation to all employment and workplace relations matters, or simply for an update as to how the Fair Work Act 2009 and other employment legislation affects you or your business.

We understand the importance of developing human resources and workplace relations strategies that assist you to achieve your business and personal goals. Our lawyers are experts in employment law and workplace relations, and can advise on, negotiate and implement awards and enterprise bargaining agreements in a range of industries. We can also provide workplace training in relation to changes to legislation and how to proactively develop human resource strategies in line with changes.

Experienced employment lawyers here for you

Our specialists in workplace relations law can appear in courts and tribunals on your behalf, and we can advise on matters relating to investigations by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

We have extensive experience in advising on employment and workplace disputes, including termination of employment, industrial action, internal disciplinary proceedings and anti-discrimination issues.

At Simmons Wolfhagen, we value long-term relationships with our clients and pride ourselves on finding practical, flexible and timely solutions. We use our knowledge to effectively inform you of the process every step of the way, making sure that you don’t feel like an outsider during the proceedings and in your dealings with us. We’re not just regular Hobart employment lawyers - we’re here to make sure our clients receive the assurances they deserve.
