The Fair Work Commission has expanded its range of online learning resources.

The new ‘Preparing for a Hearing’ module is available now 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 the Commission. 

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.
