Not every HR issue needs a lawyer?but some do. Aged care providers should recognise red flags that signal legal risk.

1. Unfair Dismissal or Redundancy Claims

 If an employee raises concerns about termination, consult legal guidance before taking action.

2. Serious Misconduct Allegations

 Sexual harassment, fraud, or workplace violence require precise legal handling.

3. Enterprise Agreement Breaches

 Failing to comply with EA terms can lead to legal penalties.

4. Union Disputes or Protected Action

 Navigating union matters improperly can escalate quickly.
