Employer resources
You may need additional support at work if you have a chronic illness. Most workplaces offer resources to help. This can include:
- talking to your manager or human resources department about any adjustments or flexible work arrangements you need
- accessing online resources on your company’s intranet
- checking if your workplace offers an employee assistance program with a professional and confidential counselling service.
If you have a workplace dispute
If you have an issue at work that you cannot resolve directly with your employer, you can find information and support at:
- your union, if you’re a union member
- the Fair Work Ombudsman – for information on your workplace rights and responsibilities or to get help resolving a workplace issue. You can also find out about protections at work.
- the Fair Work Commission – for help resolving workplace disputes through mediation, conciliation or arbitration
- Anti-Discrimination NSW – if you think you've been discriminated against
- LawAccess NSW on 1300 888 529 – for a free government telephone service that provides legal information on topics including job-related issues.
