How we can help
Optometrists Association Victoria is able to help you by answering general queries and guidance on a number of workplaces relations issues and matters for optometrists. We can:
-
provide general advice on contracts, or discuss your contract with you
-
provide general advice and assistance on your rights or responsibilities under the new Fair Work Act and National Employment Standards
-
provide general assistance to students in understanding or negotiating contracts.
Guild Lawyers Member Legal Service
Optometrists Association Victoria can help with general issues, but we cannot provide legal advice or mediate in industrial issues or cases.
As a member, you are able to access legal advice or assistance through our Member legal service, provided through Guild Lawyers, covering human resources and commercial matters. Members are entitled to a free half hour consultation on any of these issues, and ten percent reduction on the standard fee if you wish to retain the services of Guild’s expert team.
The Optometrists Association Legal Service is available on 1800 617 624.
(Please note if your query relates to your clinical practice as an optometrist and/or an indemnity insurance matter, this is not provided by Guild. For these matters, contact Avant Insurance).
National Employment Standards
Please use the link at the left to access a summary of the National Employment Standards. From January 1 2010, most Australian employees will also be covered by these new minimum workplace standards. These National Employment Standards will underpin the Fair Work Act, over-riding any inferior conditions in pre-existing agreements, and guaranteeing a number of workplace conditions. Under the Act, an employer must not contravene any of these standards.
Contracts
