Fair Work Act 2009

s.365 - General protections

Application for the Commission to deal with a general protections dispute involving dismissal - whether dismissed

• [1] Ms Melissa Halgren was employed in the role of Executive Assistant by Raco Real Estate Pty Ltd trading as DiJones Northern Beaches (DiJones) from 20 January 2025 until 4 June 2025. On 23 June 2025, Ms Halgren applied to the Commission to deal with a general protections dispute involving dismissal under section 365 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

• [2] A dispute arose about whether Ms Halgren was dismissed. At the hearing of the jurisdictional objection, both parties agreed that DiJones gave Ms Halgren notice of termination by reason of redundancy on 28 May 2025, and that her employment ended as a result of this notice on 4 June 2025. In the circumstances, I confirm my decision given on transcript today that Ms Halgren has been dismissed for the purposes of s.386(1)(a) of the Act.
