For Business

At Collective Employment Relations, we specialise in complex , sensitive, and compliance-critical industrial relations matters. Whether you're navigating risk, responding to issues, or planning for growth — we provide practical, strategic support grounded in best practice and real-world experience.

We’re not here to service 30,000 clients—and that’s exactly why our advice cuts through. With us, you get a real HR consultant who understands your business, not a scripted customer service response. We offer strategic, practical guidance that’s tailored to your circumstances and designed to contain every risk—not just the obvious or the scary ones. Whether it’s a restructure, dispute, performance issue or termination, we’ll help you handle it with confidence

We don’t just produce a piece of paper—we conduct real investigations. As an independent third party with no skin in the game, we bring clarity, fairness and objectivity to complex issues like bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, misconduct, and employee complaints. Our investigations are thorough, impartial, and handled with care.

We help employers meet their Respect@Work obligations by embedding the new positive duty requirements into everyday workplace practices. Our support includes practical advice, policy reviews, cultural assessments, and risk audits—plus a tailored toolkit to help you manage your duty proactively, not just reactively. We also advise on broader Fair Work compliance to ensure your foundations are solid.

Our annual training programs help you meet your compliance obligations while genuinely engaging your team. We run tailored, in-house sessions on bullying, sexual harassment, workplace conduct, positive duty, and responding to conflict. These aren’t off-the-shelf presentations—they’re practical, relevant, and designed to build safer, more respectful workplaces.

We lead complex wage remediation projects that go beyond basic audits. From underpayment calculations to interpreting offsetting clauses, JobKeeper interactions, and award intricacies (looking at you, SCHADS), we do the heavy lifting. Whether you’re responding to a complaint, preparing for Fair Work scrutiny, or just want peace of mind, we’ll help you get the numbers right—and the risk managed.

We provides support on workers’ compensation, capacity matters, wage disputes, unfair dismissal claims, and general protections issues. Whether you're responding to a formal claim or managing early risk, we help you navigate the process with confidence.

From classification mapping and pre-bargaining analysis to drafting and negotiation support — we help ensure your enterprise agreement is both compliant and commercially practical. We also assist with agreement reviews, FWC approvals, and implementation planning.

We manage your payroll from end to end, including interpreting rosters and timesheets, applying Award or EA entitlements, processing pays, reconciling time and attendance data, and ensuring every shift is classified correctly and paid compliantly.
