WHAT PEOPLE SAY

MARCIA

"I was told my long service leave wouldn't be paid or transferred as it was managed "in-house".  QCMA reviewed the records and identified underpayment. Within days, the entire issue was corrected and I received my entitlements in full." 

KAYNE

"QCMA assisted me in responding to a stand-down and show cause. It meant when I filed the unfair dismissal claim, my claim was in a stronger position. QCMA helped with the mediation too."

BEN

"I was called into a meeting after pre-start and QCMA was available as  my support person. They provided a summary of the meeting for me to review later and explained what my options were."
