Life is tricky enough, without also having to stand up for yourself against the unknown.
We know it’s hard to know what to do and who to trust when it comes to making sure you get what you deserve.

How can Slater and Gordon help me?

Motor Vehicle Accidents

It doesn’t matter whether you were the driver, rider, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist. If you’re injured on the road, even if it was your fault, we can help you receive any compensation you deserve to help with your recovery.

Workers' Compensation

Being sick and injured at work isn’t just physical. If your workplace is causing health problems, you may be eligible for workers compensation. Some common examples of workers compensation we can help with include: injuries from a fall, injuries caused by malfunctioning machines, lifting injuries, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), and mental health injuries.

Public Liability

Did your landlord not fix the mould problem that you’ve been emailing them about, and now you’re sick? Public liability isn’t just about being injured in a public place like a shopping centre, carpark or footpath. It can also include situations where your landlord hasn’t maintained the property you rent, or even if you’ve have been injured by physical assault.

Medical Law

Are you not being listened to, or given proper care when you go to the doctor? Medical negligence covers you if you get injured when a medical provider, like your GP or dentist, hasn’t upheld their duty of care. This can include: misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis, surgical errors, dental malpractice, failure to refer for investigations, specialist advice or emergency treatment, injuries sustained as a result of medical care overseas, and prescription and medication errors.

Employment Law

Do you feel like you're being harassed and treated unfairly at work, and unsure of your rights? Or are you getting forced to get drug tested at work? Our Employment and Industrial lawyers are all about making sure you’re treated fairly in the workplace. Our team can also help you with a range of issues in the workplace, including: unfair dismissal, discrimination or sexual harassment, advice on employment contracts, and wage theft.

Abuse Law

In recent years, Australia has had to come face to face with the terrible history of sexual and institutional abuse. We have experience assisting people who have experienced sexual or physical abuse in a number of circumstances, including: institutional abuse, such as church-run or church-and-state-run institutions, schools and other places of education, after school and sporting clubs, prisons or juvenile detention centres.

What Slater and Gordon stands for

We have built one of Australia’s most progressive law firms, where people from all walks of life are defended by a team from a diverse range of cultures and life experiences.

  • Personal injury compensation

    Every year we help around forty thousand people understand if they have a right to compensation after a personal injury. We take on those insurers that seek to avoid paying the fair compensation our clients need to recover and rebuild their lives.

  • Unions

    We stood with the union movement in the quest for a 40-hour week. Indeed, we’ve fought for workers and their unions since 1935.

  • Standing up for your rights

    We’ve faced off against Australian asbestos miners, big tobacco, big banks, and any other institution that thinks size, power and profits can let them get away with negligence, abuse or worse.

  • Class Actions

    We launched a Class Action to hold the NSW police accountable for unlawful stirp searches at Splendour in the Grass

Teddy's Story

“It was like in the cartoons, how they spin out. All I could remember was spinning a few times, rolling on the ground, rolling, rolling. I was conscious during the whole time. I went to go stand up and fell back down completely. When I looked at my leg, the heel of my foot was facing me. I knew my leg was gone.”
