Understanding Our Role at 1800NOWINNOFEE™: Advocacy in Employment, Human Rights, and Beyond

At 1800NOWINNOFEE™, we are proud to offer professional advocacy services to individuals navigating workplace disputes, human rights complaints, and related challenges. While our leadership team holds tertiary qualifications, including Bachelor of Laws (LLB), we are not practising lawyers. Instead, we operate as professional advocates, providing tailored support and representation to those in need.

Our Role as Advocates

Our advocacy services are designed to assist with a wide range of matters, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, sexual harassment, workers’ compensation appeals, and more. While we provide expert guidance and representation, we do not offer legal advice or legal services. If legal advice or court representation is required, we can provide referrals to qualified legal practitioners.
