If your business has ever had a Pysch injury claim then you are already feeling the pinch and likely saw your premiums go through the roof. Two years ago I worked with a small community based organisation. Most of the team had gone off on Pysch claims. Every claim was accepted. The organisation ended up closing its doors. The evidence was mainly he said she said. Not to mention a few very reasonable emails asking the employees to do their jobs or provide information about why certain tasks were not completed. No screaming in the corridor. No public shaming or repeated behaviour. The problem was this client didn’t know how to respond to the claims. They didn’t understand they had the right to dispute them. And they are no alone, most businesses don’t know what their rights are. That’s why we are running a webinar on Wednesday 28th October at 12:30pm answering all your questions around how to deal with claims and how the system works. Comment webinar. And we will send you link to join. Or follow the link in this post.

In April 2025 Queensland rail terminated the employment of a train driver that had a conviction for drug possession. He put in a claim and won $30k in compensation as he said his 8 ball a day coke habit was outside of work and therefore was not relevant to whether he could do his job safely. This is the kind of fuckery we are dealing with in our IR system in this country. The system is stacked in the employees favour and businesses cannot win. It’s an absolute joke. Imagine this guy was allowed to continue to drive the trains had an accident and killed people. QLD rail would be dragged. Tell me what you think should this guy have kept his job or were they right to terminate him?

Just checking in to see whether any of you got a guaranteed pay rise year on year, paid flex time and a paid Christmas break this year? 🙃 No? Me neither. The Australian Public Service is the biggest it’s ever been. And now the APS union wants 5% a year minimum for the next 3 years. And the fight right now is over a standard 7.5 hour day most of them already work. Meanwhile 90% of private sector jobs saw no wage change last quarter. The APS is the biggest it’s ever been, meanwhile we just hit 1 trillion in debt and one of the biggest governments expenditures is servicing this debt, funding the public service workers and also welfare. Send this to a business owner who’s sick of funding it. 👇 #smallbusinessaustralia #australianbusiness #smeaustralia #hrgurus

Instagram is a wild place where many founders and gurus are proudly posting about their successful businesses and perfect lives making their business look like it’s humming and printing money. The truth. Most businesses are not sexy and insta worthy. And although SME’s are the back bone of the economy many business owners don’t pay themselves a proper wage. True leaders often eat last. And it’s not getting any easier to operate here and make money. Business is often not glamorous it’s a daily game of let’s see how expensive my new idea is and whether or not we can make the numbers work to stay alive. It sometimes feels like the hunger games and in this era I don’t know who business owners are more scared of. The ATO or the FWC or maybe even its employees. LOLLLL Tag a business owner who needs to see this kind of normal. And to all the founders who are killing it. No shade. Respect cause I know most of you have scars to prove how you got there. ✌️✌️✌️

Sorry this is a long one. But if you are a small business owner in Australia and you are feeling overwhelmed by the level of compliance then I’m not surprised because this is my full time job and even I’m struggling to keep up. This government is purposefully attacked small business owners. Pitting employees against their employers so much so that their own system is buckling under the weight of claims. It has never felt harder and more expensive to employ people in this country. 10 new acts of parliament around IR reform and 29 substantive law changes. It honestly feels intentional and every single one of these changes and rights is funded by YOU the small business owner. Every change a great headline for the government but at what expense? The economy is tanking. Productivity is at an all time low. Job growth has stagnated. And they aren’t done, already next year 2 new changes to be implemented! I am honestly done. Share this with every single business owner you know. Not just to have a bitch. But to remember what we are up against and what we need to do to instigate change. We deserve better.

If it feels like your employees hate you then maybe it’s cause you have secretly started to hate them as well. It may feel like nothing you do is good enough. Whatever you give they always want more. Something has shifted and you feel jaded and every interaction is now loaded. You have started watching your words, not knowing if something you say may result in a claim or an employee being offended. It’s f*cking exhausting. Things used to feel easier, your relationships with your team felt real, genuine, reciprocal. Now you have a few bad eggs that have been with you for ages and they are sucking you dry. You may have asked for advice or support from another HR consulting business and thought. F*ck are these people for real? Sounds like they are on the employees side. WTF? I feel so alone. Lucky for you that’s not how people feel inside our membership. Cause we seen it all, and we definitely 💯 on your side. Every single day of the week.

We see you. If running a business in Australia right now feels near impossible we totally get it. New laws, new rules, new taxes all stacked in the favour of employees. It’s a lot but you don’t need to be an island even though we live on one. If you are seeking someone on your side who gets it. Then we are the ones. We too are the little guy who has been in the trenches for 16 years showing up and staying staunch as we navigate this crazy system that honestly just feels stacked. #hrconsulting #hradvisory #australia #smallbusinesssupportingsmallbusiness

I did a post recently and I got the numbers wrong and boy did I incite the trolls. It was like the ultimate rage bait for the entitled employees who don’t like accountability or the truth about what is costs to employ people in this country. So here is my redemption post with the real numbers but at the end of the day an employee is an expense that costs a business owner 365 days a year. The end. Rant over. #hrconsulting #smallbusinessowner #auspolitics
