Workplace Relations Consultant

At On Demand HR, we provide ongoing, practical Human Resources and Workplace Relations support to businesses across Australia.

Our mission is to deliver certainty, confidence, and results for employers through advice that is strategic, compliant, and commercially driven.

We support clients through a membership model, providing unlimited access to workplace relations advice and documentation, along with project work such as investigations, recruitment campaigns, policy development, and tribunal representation.

Our approach is practical and outcome-focused — we help businesses make confident people decisions by combining real-world commercial understanding with deep HR and IR expertise.

Our growing team operates flexibly, collaborates closely, and values results over theory.

We are currently seeking an experienced Workplace Relations Consultant to join our team.

This position has been created to strengthen our capacity to deliver high-quality advice and documentation in performance management and redundancy.

You will work closely with senior consultants who will provide ongoing mentoring and support as you manage a diverse client portfolio.

In this role, you will:

• Provide strategic, commercial advice to clients regarding performance management, termination, and redundancy decisions
• Guide line managers, executives, and C-suite leaders through complex people situations that influence the direction of their business
• Prepare comprehensive documentation including warning letters, termination letters, redundancy meeting plans, and supporting communication templates
• Advise clients on their obligations and risks under the Fair Work Act, NES, and related legislation
• Help clients plan and execute appropriate meeting structures and communication processes — you will guide, not conduct, the actual terminations or redundancy meetings
• Support clients in achieving balanced, mutually beneficial exit outcomes
• Manage multiple advisory requests across a variety of industries and business sizes
• Collaborate with colleagues in recruitment, investigations, and workplace safety to provide a seamless advisory service

You'll act as a trusted advisor, helping businesses navigate critical employment situations while being supported by a team of experienced Workplace Relations professionals.

• Experience working within a consulting, advisory, or professional services environment, such as a specialist HR or Industrial Relations consultancy or employer association

• Flexible hybrid work environment – 1 office day per week in Merrylands
• Be supported and mentored by senior Workplace Relations Consultants
• Work with decision-makers at all business levels, from front-line managers to CEOs
• Engage with a broad range of industries and business models
• Collaborative, supportive, and professional team culture focused on growth and excellence
