Ignite HR & Employment Law

Ignite HR & Employment Law provides Employment Workplace Lawyer and Advisory services for employers across Newcastle, the Central Coast and Greater Sydney, with virtual support available more broadly. The practice grew out of Karen Ansen Consulting, founded in late 2019, and now operates as a team of four.

• Advises employers on employment law and Fair Work Act compliance, including workplace legal support for day to day HR issues.
• Supports conflict resolution and employee relations matters as a distinct advisory service.
• Assists organisations in aged care, disability and health sectors with industry accreditation requirements tied to workforce compliance.
• Offers a one hour expert consultation as an entry point for employers needing legal guidance.

Best for: small and medium employers in Newcastle, the Central Coast or Greater Sydney needing practical, ongoing employment law advice rather than one-off litigation support.

Ignite HR & Employment Law also provides Generalist HR Consulting to employers in its Newcastle, Central Coast and Greater Sydney service area, alongside its core employment law advisory work.

• Provides HR strategy and implementation support tailored to each client’s goals.
• Handles people and culture matters, including conflict resolution and employee relations guidance.
• Delivers HR training and compliance guidance across industries such as aged care, retail, disability services, hospitality, corporate and trades.

Best for: employers already engaging Ignite for employment law advice who also need day to day HR strategy and people support from the same provider.
