Fair Work Commission

Which application form is used?

Applications must be lodged using Form F72 – Application for an order to stop workplace bullying.

Before lodging an application, first work out whether or not you are eligible to apply. The form can be found at the end of the eligibility quiz.

What happens to my form after I’ve lodged it?

The Commission will inform those people who might be affected by your application that you have applied for a workplace bullying order.

This will include providing a copy of your application to:

• the employer or principal who employed or engaged you
• any person or people you allege are bullying you, and
• the employer or principal of this person or people (if different from your employer/principal).

Is there an application fee?

Workers are required to pay an application fee. See the Lodge an application page for the current fee.

This fee may be waived on the grounds that its payment would cause serious hardship. Any application for waiver of the fee should be on the appropriate waiver request form, and accompany the application form.

The fee may also be refunded if the matter is discontinued before the Commission has listed the matter for a mediation, conference or hearing.
