AI-generated editorial image
Class actions have covered product defects, investor losses, consumer overcharging and more. Group members usually don't pay upfront, and funding may come from a litigation funder or contingency arrangement where permitted.
Why class actions matters
Class actions let thousands of people with the same problem pursue a claim together, which no individual could afford alone.
The Australian context
Australia's federal class action regime began in 1992, with Victoria, NSW, Queensland, WA and Tasmania adding their own. Victoria allows group costs orders, a form of contingency fee, in its Supreme Court.

Understand the next step
A practical guide to class actions
What to discuss at the first meeting
Identify the proposed or existing proceeding and any registration or settlement notice. Ask what participation involves, who represents the group and how funding and deductions are explained.
Do not assume registering interest and becoming bound by a proceeding or settlement are the same event.
How the engagement may progress
01
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
02
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
03
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Fees and the scope of work
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Dates to raise at first contact
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
Questions to ask a class actions adviser
What is my status in the proceeding?
What costs, deductions and choices should I understand?
Which scheme or policy are you assessing?
Who pays for reports and other evidence?
What could I pay if the claim does not succeed?

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
How do I join a class action?
In many cases you're automatically a group member if you fit the description, but registering with the law firm is often needed to receive compensation.
What does no win, no fee mean?
You pay the lawyer's professional fees only if the claim succeeds. You may still be responsible for costs such as medical reports, and in some cases the other side's costs, so ask for a written costs agreement.
How long does a claim take?
Simple claims can settle within months. Claims involving serious injuries usually wait until your condition has stabilised so the full impact can be assessed, which can take a year or more.
