About the F80 Application Form

Waiver of application fee

The Fair Work Regulations 2009 provide that, for certain applications, no fee is payable for
making an application where the Fair Work Commission (the Commission) is satisfied that
paying that fee would cause a person to suffer serious hardship. This is relevant for the
following applications:
 Unfair dismissal application (F2)
 General protections application involving dismissal (F8)
 General protections application not involving dismissal (F8C)
 Application for the Commission to deal with an unlawful termination dispute (F9)
 Application for an order to stop bullying (F72)
In completing this form, you are making a declaration that all information provided is true
and correct.

You must complete all the sections of this form. If you do not complete all sections, your
application for waiver may be refused.

The Commission considers completed fee waiver applications as a matter of priority. You
will be advised of the Commission’s decision as soon as is practicable, usually within 3
days of receipt of the application.

If your application for waiver is unsuccessful, you must pay the application fee before the
matter can proceed.

Privacy notice
The Commission collects the information in this form when it is lodged, for the purpose of
dealing with your fee waiver application. The information collected will include personal
information about you and any personal information you provide about other individuals.

If the Commission did not collect this personal information it would not be able to deal with
your fee waiver application because it would lack necessary information.

The Commission will use and disclose the personal information about you and others
contained in this form to Commission staff for the purpose of dealing with your fee waiver
application. If you provide personal information about someone other than yourself, the
Commission may disclose your name to that individual in order to meet its privacy
notification obligations. You should also give the individual a copy of this Privacy Notice to
ensure that the individual is aware of the Commission’s practices in collecting and
disclosing personal information.
