Fixed fee by complexity

Investigations & Major Projects

Specialist support for sensitive, high-stakes matters — fixed fee by complexity, scoped before work begins.

This work carries different risk and skill demands to day-to-day HR support, so it sits outside the Hourly, Pre-Paid, and Retainer packages above — even for retainer clients.

Start hereScoping Assessment

Initial review and tier recommendation before further work is quoted

$400–500ex GST
Tier 1 — Straightforward

Single respondent, one clear conduct issue, no legal complexity

$2,500–3,500ex GST
Tier 2 — Standard

Multiple witnesses/steps, evidence matrix, formal interviews and outcome letters

$3,500–5,500ex GST
Tier 3 — Complex/High-Risk

Multiple respondents, legal input throughout, real dismissal exposure

$6,000–9,000ex GST

Fixed fees exclude specialist IR/legal input, which is invoiced separately at the specialist's own rate. A documented scope variation applies if a matter grows materially once work is underway. Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBA) and Enterprise Agreements (EA) are scoped and quoted individually based on complexity and negotiation requirements.
