Our Mission & Vision

At Close Consulting, we strongly believe that all disputes can be resolved with consultation and discussion, rather than legal action.

Australians deserve honest workplaces and are entitled to their legal rights. By advocating for both small businesses and individuals, we’re striving to make workplace relationships stronger and fairer.

This means representing a range of clients and also offering protection for those most vulnerable to infringements.
