Fair Work Act depth. Award coverage. Without the slog.
Quillio gives Australian employment lawyers faster research across the Fair Work Act, modern awards, and FWC decisions — and drafts advice, contracts, and FWC applications in AU employment practice style.
Quillio is built for Australian employment and industrial relations practice — employer and employee-side advice, unfair dismissal, general protections, underpayments, enterprise agreements, and workplace investigations. It is trained weekly on the Fair Work Act 2009, the 121 modern awards, FWC and Federal Court decisions, state long service leave legislation, and current post-Secure Jobs reforms — so advice and drafting reflect the framework as it actually applies.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from employment law practitioners again and again.
The Fair Work Act keeps moving
Secure Jobs, Better Pay, Closing Loopholes No. 1, Closing Loopholes No. 2, right to disconnect, employee/contractor reform, wage theft criminalisation — the Act has been amended more times in three years than in the previous ten. Staying current is a job in itself.
Award coverage is the first question on every advice
121 modern awards, with overlapping coverage and classification disputes. Getting the award wrong at the start of an advice means the rest of the advice is wrong too.
Unfair dismissal timelines are unforgiving
21 days to lodge an F2. Clients often come to you on day 18. The research, advice, and application have to happen fast — and faster still on employer-side responses.
Underpayment calculations take hours
Six years back, applying the correct award, over award entitlements, penalty rates, overtime, allowances, superannuation — a single underpayment file can run to days of calculation work before you get to the advice.

Is Quillio current on the Closing Loopholes amendments?
Yes. Quillio is trained weekly on the Fair Work Act as amended by Closing Loopholes No. 1 and No. 2 — including the current employee/contractor definition (with its "ordinary meaning" test), the right to disconnect provisions, the casual conversion framework, same job same pay, and the regulated labour hire framework. Research reflects the Act as it currently stands, not the pre-amendment position.
How does Quillio handle modern award coverage?
Quillio identifies the applicable modern award by classifying the role and industry, and flags coverage disputes where more than one award could plausibly apply. Every coverage opinion is backed by citations to the award coverage clause and relevant FWC award interpretation decisions, so you verify before advising.
Can Quillio do underpayment calculations reliably?
Quillio produces first-draft underpayment calculations applying the correct modern award rates, penalty rates, overtime, allowances, and superannuation over the claim period — typically six years. The output is a structured working you review, refine, and sign off on. Most practitioners use it as a 70-80% starting point rather than a final number.
Does Quillio handle both employer-side and employee-side work?
Yes. Quillio is not tilted to either side — it handles employer-side dismissal responses, investigation advice, and enterprise bargaining, and equally handles employee-side unfair dismissal applications, general protections claims, and underpayment recovery. The tool is agnostic; the advocacy is yours.
What about state long service leave and workplace surveillance?
Quillio covers state long service leave legislation in each Australian state and territory (which varies meaningfully), and state workplace surveillance Acts — particularly the NSW Workplace Surveillance Act and Victorian surveillance framework. Research reflects the state-specific regime rather than a federal-only view.
Is client material safe for workplace investigations?
Yes. Investigation material, complainant statements, and disciplinary records are some of the most sensitive HR material a lawyer handles. Quillio is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified and runs on Australian infrastructure — consistent with APP 6, APP 11, and state workplace surveillance obligations. Nothing leaves Australian soil.
Try Quillio on your own work.
For an employment practitioner, the most useful first test is a current advice or an FWC application you are working on now — upload the instructions and see Quillio surface the correct award, the relevant authorities, and a first-draft application.
