What happened

the Applicant appealed a Fair Work Commission Deputy President’s decision regarding his unfair dismissal claim against Rasier Pacific Pty Ltd. The original decision found that the Applicant’s dismissal was not unfair. The case was heard in Canberra on 23 February 2026.

What was decided

The Full Bench of the Fair Work Commission dismissed the Applicant’s appeal. They found the Deputy President’s original decision was not wrong. The Full Bench did not consider there were any errors of law or approach in the original decision. The Deputy President had correctly assessed the evidence and applied the relevant legal principles.

What it means for employers

Employers should ensure dismissal decisions are carefully considered and documented, demonstrating a fair and objective assessment of the employee’s performance and conduct. Decisions should be consistent with relevant legislation and case law.

What it means for employees

Employees appealing unfair dismissal decisions should be aware that the Full Bench will scrutinise the original decision for errors of law or approach. Appeals are not guaranteed to succeed.
