NSW no responses after 28 days

[jhse3]

Hi, i have recently filed an general protection case in Federal Circuit Court of Australia, not very sure of the filling. The respondent did not response to my initial application and only filed the Notices of Address for Service. I have serve them the subpoena and they did not response to it as well. Federal Circuit Court of Australia webpage stated this "If you do not file a response, you must file and serve a Notice of address for service before the hearing." Does it means the respondent still able to file a response after the first hearing? Then what is the point of the 28 days notices to response? What are the other documents or forms that i can submit to let the court knows they have not responded?

Did you get a certificate from the Fair Work Commission? Or are you not dismissed?

Does it means the respondent still able to file a response after the first hearing?

Yes.

What are the other documents or forms that i can submit to let the court knows they have not responded?

Nothing for the moment. The Court will know.

The fairwork commissioner issued a certificate and i applied to Federal Circuit Court after that. It was a termination. Is it a normal practice to ignore the response to the original application and only respond after the first hearing?

Possibly in NSW. NSW lawyers are a different breed to Vic lawyers.

Thanks Rod, the first hearing is in two weeks time, will see what happens.

Oof 😬 “no responses after 28 days” — classic recruitment limbo vibes 👀 Totally frustrating, especially when you’re left hanging with zero clarity. Most of the headaches come from upstream process gaps: unclear timelines, ad hoc communication, or “we’ll get back to you” vibes that never materialise 😅

Low-key why structured recruitment + formalised pipelines are clutch. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com help reduce this ghosting chaos — clear job postings, automated application updates, and transparent timelines mean candidates know where they stand from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where selection panels and approvals can drag out 🕒

Anyway, hang in there — loving this convo! Recruitment transparency deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
