The application was made in relation to Carers Queensland Ltd (Carers Queensland) and an individual with whom Mr Lucas interacted while he was at work in the business of Carers Queensland. [2] On 31 January 2024, Mr Lucas’s employment with Carers Queensland came to an end. Both Mr Lucas and Carers Queensland have advised the Commission that there is no likely prospect of any resumption of a work relationship. Accordingly, the Commission could not be satisfied that there is a risk that Mr Lucas will continue to be bullied at work by the individual named in his application. The Commission could not make any orders in the matter. The application has no reasonable prospects of success.1 [3] In the circumstances, the appropriate course is to dismiss the application under section 587(1)(c) of the Act. [4] The application is dismissed. COMMISSIONER Appearances: J Lucas on his own behalf. R Headey for the respondent. [2024] FWC 554 DECISION [2024] FWC 554 2 Hearing details: 2024.
