Preparing For Hearing At Commission

Fair Work Commission

We are pleased to announce the release of our new 'Preparing for a hearing' module in our Online Learning Portal.

This module is for employees and employers planning to represent themselves at a Commission hearing. It is also a valuable training resource for new practitioners appearing before us.

The module covers:

  • the hearing process
  • procedural fairness
  • preparing evidence, witness statements and submissions
  • the role of the Commission Member and others at the hearing
  • dress code and appropriate behaviour
  • presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making clear submissions
  • what to expect after a hearing.

The module is free to access and contains video case studies, animations, learning checks, templates and a downloadable Guide. Users who log in can also obtain a completion certificate.

The module is the second in our 'Preparing for' series, following the popular 'Preparing for an unfair dismissal conciliation' module released in 2023.

Please feel welcome to share this information with your colleagues. To keep up to date on when new resources are launched, you can subscribe to our Learning, tools and resources updates.
