Running a business is hard enough. Running HR on the side is harder.
It is 9pm and you are still Googling.
An employee issue cannot wait until morning, and every article you find contradicts the last one.
You are the HR department.
Hiring, rosters, leave, pay questions and the hard conversations all land on you, on top of running the business.
Your paperwork has not kept up.
A contract downloaded once and never updated, policies nobody owns, and a process that lives in one manager’s head. The documents are not the problem. Having nobody to keep them current, and nobody to call when they are tested, is.
Help arrives after the damage is done.
Most owners only look for advice once a situation has escalated, when the options are fewest and the cost is highest.
EmployerHQ gives you someone to call before it gets to that point.
One platform. Real people behind it.
Raise a question through your member portal, follow its progress and find the documents your managers need, all in one place. Your named adviser gets to know your business, so every conversation picks up where the last one left off.
Ask a question. Get a clear next step.
Tell us what is happening and your adviser will help you work out the process, the options and the conversation to have. Practical guidance from someone who knows your business.
- Email and portal access for day-to-day questions
- Phone and Teams for complex matters
- Salbridge Legal Access when your matter needs a lawyer

Big-business expertise. Built for businesses your size.
We have run people functions inside large, complex organisations. We built EmployerHQ because the owner of an eighteen-person business carries the same problems with none of the same support.
Built by an employment lawyer, a former CEO and a former Chief People Officer who have made the hard calls themselves.

Talk to our teamWho is EmployerHQ for?
Australian businesses with around 5 to 100 employees that need experienced HR support without building an in-house team. We also support operations and people leaders in larger growing businesses. Book a call and we will talk through the fit.
What is included in the membership?
A named adviser, HR and employment relations advice by email, portal, phone and Teams, 3 platform users, manager playbooks, branded contracts and policies, workforce procedures, resource search, monthly workplace law updates, invitations to member webinars and to our networking sessions, and Salbridge Legal Access, which covers up to 30 minutes with an employment lawyer on any issue your adviser refers.
Do I get access to a real lawyer?
Yes. Your membership includes Salbridge Legal Access: up to 30 minutes with an employment lawyer at Salbridge Lawyers, an employment law firm, on any issue your adviser refers. You do not have to work out whether a matter needs a lawyer, because your adviser makes that call. EmployerHQ itself provides HR and employment relations guidance and is not a law practice, so the legal advice comes from Salbridge, not from us. Where a matter needs more than the included consultation, Salbridge can act for you directly at member rates and will agree the scope and the cost with you before they start. When Salbridge advises you, you are their client for that advice. Nour Salama is the principal of Salbridge Lawyers, a co-founder and director of EmployerHQ, and has a financial interest in both.
Will I speak with real experts?
Yes. Your named adviser is an experienced HR professional who gets to know your business. The founding team brings executive, people and employment law experience, and you have Salbridge Legal Access when a matter needs a lawyer.
How do I contact my adviser?
Day-to-day questions are handled by email and the portal, with phone and Teams for complex matters. EmployerHQ is not an emergency response service.
