About Me
Nadia is a barrister at the Victorian Bar. Nadia’s practice focuses on employment law, industrial relations, regulatory and administrative law. Nadia is being mentored by Catherine Symons and Jenny Firkin QC.
Nadia has a special interest in permitted deductions under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and related wage and payment matters, as well as the judicial review of Fair Work Commission decisions.
