About Us

Australian Dismissal Services is a registered trading name, owned by Industrial Relations Consulting Pty Ltd (IRC). IRC was formed in 2003 and is owned by Grace Collier.

Grace Collier is recognised as one of Australia’s leading industrial relations experts. With an early background in the Union movement, Ms Collier gained the knowledge to deliver practical and sound results for the business community. Grace has more than 18 years experience in the field of Industrial Relations, specialising in agreement making and dismissal management.

Grace is public speaker and commentator on Industrial Relations issues. Her opinion pieces regularly appear in various publications including the The Australian, The Australian Financial Review, The Sydney Morning Herald and The IPA Review. Grace is a contributing author to ’The Greens, Policies, Reality and Consequences’ and ’Right Social Justice, better ways to help the poor’, both by Connor Court Publishing.

With the introduction of the Fair Work Act in 2009, the number of applications for unfair dismissal  increased significantly. A need in the market for a specialist provider to assist businesses in correctly managing the risks associated with the employment separation event emerged.  

Grace assembled a team of Consultants and Legal Officers to deliver expert assistance and support to companies implementing performance management and dismissal events.

All of our processes are conducted strictly in observance with legislation, client instruction and modern community expectations around fairness in the workplace.

Our team takes pride in delivering boutique services to the business sector. Whether you are a  small business owner, a payroll manager or a  Human  Resources professional, you can be sure of our understanding , support  and the risk minimisation we promise.

Our mission is to demystify, destigmatize and correctly manage the employment separation event.
