New general protections information

Our new General protections and harmful (adverse) action section on our website provides helpful information about general protections, whether to apply and what happens next.

The new website content is supplemented by additional resources including:

  • new graphics showing the process
  • a new animation
  • a new screening quiz.

The animation gives 5 quick tips about general protections. In the coming weeks more animations will be published as part of a new series available on our YouTube channel, Understanding dismissal claims.

  1. Watch our short video on 5 things to know before you apply in general protections dismissal cases.

    This video can help you decide if this is the right type of application for you.

The screening quiz will help users engage with key concepts related to general protections. This includes eligibility, our role and the potential to go to court. The quiz asks questions to help people find out if they are eligible before they apply through our MyFWC portal. 

These resources provide several ways to engage with information about general protections. This continues our approach to providing the right information at the right time and in the right format. 

The aim is to help people make informed decisions about the right path for their workplace issue. The changes will improve understanding of the general protections and set clear expectations about our role, whether to apply and the possible outcomes.
