Advice when you need it, not a queue

The problem

Most growing businesses are more exposed than they realise.

Award coverage, contractor classification, missing documentation. The complexity scales faster than the owner's knowledge, and most businesses don't know how exposed they are until something goes wrong.

Fear of getting it wrong

Fair Work claims, unfair dismissal, general protection claims, underpayment, and compliance breaches with real financial consequences.

No one to call when a situation escalates

The employee is in the room, the manager is panicking, and there's no expert on the other end of the phone who already knows your business.

Hundreds an hour for reactive advice

Legal help only kicks in after things go wrong, when the bill is highest and the options are fewest.

Missing or outdated documentation

Contracts downloaded from Google, outdated policies, no employee handbook, no documented processes.

Managers making decisions on instinct

Without a clear process, decisions create legal exposure the business owner doesn't know about until a claim lands.

The founder is the HR department

Writing contracts, managing performance issues, Googling award rates at 11pm. Every hour here is an hour not spent running the business.

Stop Googling answers at midnight.

Who it's for

Built for Australian employers without an in-house legal or HR team.

You're a business owner making employment decisions without a dedicated expert in your corner.

Award coverage, contractor classification, performance management, termination, compliance. Every decision carries legal exposure. Most small business owners manage this on instinct and don't know how exposed they are until something goes wrong.

EmployerHQ exists for the business that has outgrown Google and needs a genuine advisory relationship, not a call centre, not a template library.

  • Small to mid-sized teams
  • Growing quickly, people complexity scaling fast
  • No in-house HR or legal function

Why people join now

  • Something has happened. A Fair Work letter, a bullying complaint, a termination that went sideways. The cost of not having support just became real.

  • Outgrowing the founder. As the team grows, the founder can't hold every people decision in their head anymore. Exposure is creeping in.

  • Buying peace of mind. Nothing has gone wrong yet, but you know you're underprotected. You want someone to call who already knows your business.
