WORKPLACE LAWYERS & IR SPECIALISTS, MELBOURNE
Workplace Consultants for Health and Aged Care
Health and aged care is high stakes and time sensitive. Services cannot pause while policies are rewritten or disputes drag on. We help providers strengthen day to day people systems so care continues and teams feel supported. When a matter needs formal advice, our industrial relations and employment law specialists can step in.
We work with public hospitals, private operators and community providers. The focus is practical: clear policies, fair processes, and manager training that leads to confident action on the floor.

Why Choose Our Services
We focus on health and aged care operations first and bring legal support in only when it is required. You receive sector specific tools that staff can use on shift: clear policy guides, roster and on call rules for 24/7 services, fatigue and overtime checks, incident and complaints handling guides, and short manager scripts for performance and conduct discussions.
Each deliverable names an owner, timeframe and handover point so changes hold in wards, clinics and residential services. If a matter moves toward enterprise bargaining, a dispute or a formal investigation, our employment and industrial relations lawyers provide targeted advice and representation when required.
