Complaints
We have provided you with an extensive list of letters in our letters section and supportive evidence in our supportive info section, that will help you address as many of these issues as you encounter them, without the need for our assistance.
Should you require our services after using these letters, please lodge a complaint below.
Employment Related Consultations
If you would like advice regarding an employment related, please request a consultation.
What you will receive:
1. Up to 30 minutes phone consultation with an experienced advocate and/or 30-minute consultation which may include both verbal and written assistance.
2. A "show cause" letter will be provided (if appropriate).
3. A follow up email after the consultation recapping what was discussed and recommendations made in the consultation.
If you would like to take the matter further, your consultation amount will be deducted from the $250 employment complaint fee and your advocate will advise you how to do that.
Advocate Consultations
If you would like to speak to one of our friendly and talented advocates to discuss mandates, to get a legal opinion or for Covid related issues guidance, we are here to help. Business owners, consumers and the general public are welcome to reach out for help.
This service is not for employment related questions. If you have an employment related query, please submit your request here.
Hit the button below, complete the form & one of our advocates will be in touch within 2 business days to discuss your enquiry & provide an opinion regarding your enquiry. Our advocate will provide you with a researched 15 minute phone consultation. If you would like to take further action, they will advise you what the next steps are.
Employees
If you have been discriminated against by your employer in regard to mandatory mask wearing, vaccinations or PCR testing in your workplace:
- Click the button "Make a Complaint" below
- Complete the details & pay the admin fee of $250
If you require advocacy services to handle the matter on your behalf, please lodge an employment complaint with Human Rights Advocates Australia. We will take care of all correspondence and provide your employer with all the relevant letters, research, studies and supporting documents. If HRA Australia is unable to action your complaint for some reason, we will refund your payment less $120 fee for administration costs & assessment of the complaint.
No business owner wants the negative impacts that losing valuable staff will cause, as skills shortages can be difficult and costly to replace, hurting businesses. So before terminating your employment, we ask the business to consider negotiating alternative outcomes such as:
- allowing you to work from home
- allowing regular testing or safety measures in lieu of the vaccine
- approving leave entitlements, or
- changing your position to one that is determined has less risk
We also provide a Business Risk Register to the employer with strategies on how to measure these risks for their employees, including lawful hazard control measures.
In spite of the government rhetoric, these vaccines do come with risks, as shown on the TGA adverse events page, and as evidenced by the increasing number of exemptions being offered within these directives. These adverse reactions exposes the employer to liability, and employees should be protected from these risks and from the government for offloading their responsibilities onto employers!
If you have sick leave entitlements and are feeling anxious, stressed, or depressed, we will assist you in taking stress leave and accessing those entitlements. This will also help buy some valuable time to have right of review and consider your options without being rushed into decisions you are not comfortable with. If you have other leave entitlements, we will assist you in accessing those also.
If the employer refuses to acknowledge your right to informed consent, Human Rights Advocates Australia will assist you in on-referring the complaint through the appropriate avenues.
If your employer is following government mandates, then please join the national class action with Advocate Me which has approximately 25,000 members. www.advocateme.com.au
Go to Australians Say No website and join your industry specific action. There are over 35,000 members in this campaign. www.australianssayno.com
Remember any interaction with your employer could be recorded and possibly used against you in legal action later on in the form of an affidavit.
