You may be able to lodge an application or otherwise interact with the Fair Work Commission via its Online Lodgment Service (OLS). OLS is not yet available for all application types but available application types may change from time to time.

OLS may contain information concerning eligibility or application fees. Although we take care to make changes as soon as they come into effect there may be a delay between when a change takes effect and when the information on OLS is updated. We recommend you seek independent legal advice regarding eligibility. We accept no liability or responsibility for loss in reliance on this information.

OLS may contain search tools to assist you in completing the form. These use external data sources and the information is provided to help you complete the form quickly. This information is not given as suggestions for accurate or correct answers to any particular question.

Certain applications available on OLS are subject to strict time limits for filing. It is your responsibility to give us correct and complete information in a timely manner. Information you provide via OLS may be directly integrated into our case management system. 

We make reasonable effort to ensure that the OLS is provided continuously, with minimal disruption for system maintenance or fixing faults. We accept no liability or responsibility for loss incurred due to system maintenance, faults or other disruptions.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure OLS and your information is not compromised. We cannot guarantee that no harmful code or contaminants, including viruses, bugs, trojan horses, spyware or adware, will enter OLS.

We recommend you use appropriate and up-to-date firewall and antivirus software to protect your device. We accept no liability or responsibility for any interference with or damage to your device, software or data occurring from accessing OLS.
