If a professional you trusted has let you down — and that failure has cost you real money, real time, or real peace of mind — you don’t have to absorb the loss and move on. You have options. Finding out whether you have a valid claim is far simpler than most people expect.
Fair Go Australia is a specialist professional negligence legal team. This is all we do. We assist Rockhampton clients remotely, Australia-wide — no upfront cost, and no obligation to proceed after your free case evaluation.
Rockhampton is Central Queensland’s commercial and administrative centre, home to a significant professional services sector — legal firms, financial advisors, accounting practices, medical clinics, engineers serving the resources industry, and building professionals working across the broader region.
When you engage a professional in any of these fields, you’re trusting them with something that matters: your health, your finances, your business, or your legal rights. Most of the time, that trust is well placed. But when it isn’t — when advice is wrong, a deadline is missed, or a professional cuts corners — the person who suffers the consequences is you. That’s where we come in.
We handle a wide range of professional negligence claims for Central Queensland clients, including:
Not sure which category your situation falls into? That’s completely normal — the free case evaluation will help clarify it.
In Queensland, professional negligence claims are governed by the Civil Liability Act 2003 (QLD). To succeed in a claim, you generally need to establish four things:
The Queensland Law Society sets professional conduct standards for solicitors, and AHPRA regulates medical practitioners. Each profession has its own regulatory framework, but the underlying negligence principles are consistent across them.
If any of these elements are missing, a claim may not succeed — which is exactly why a proper assessment matters before you commit to anything.
This is the question that catches more people off guard than almost any other.
Under the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (QLD), you generally have three years from the date you discovered — or reasonably should have discovered — that negligence occurred. That sounds straightforward, but it’s rarely simple in practice. You might not have realised at the time that something had gone wrong. You might have assumed the outcome was just bad luck, not professional failure. In some cases, the clock starts ticking well before a person fully understands what happened to them.
If you’re reading this and thinking that was a few years ago — don’t assume it’s too late. Get an assessment first. If you’re reading this and thinking this only just happened — don’t wait. The window can close faster than people expect.
Missing the limitation deadline can permanently extinguish your right to bring a claim, regardless of how strong it might be on the merits. Contact our team for a free assessment and we’ll confirm whether your window is still open.
We work with Rockhampton and Central Queensland clients entirely remotely. There’s no local office, and there doesn’t need to be — professional negligence matters are handled through consultation, documentation, and correspondence, all of which we manage efficiently without you needing to travel.
What we bring to every claim:
We’ll tell you honestly whether we think you have a viable claim. If we don’t think you do, we’ll tell you that too.
The first step is simple — and it costs you nothing. Tell us what happened, and we’ll assess whether you have a claim worth pursuing. The evaluation is confidential, there’s no obligation to proceed, and our no-win, no-fee model means cost is never a barrier to getting proper advice.
No Win No Fee Free Evaluation Confidential Australia-Wide
We respond within one business day.
Yes. Fair Go Australia assists clients across regional Queensland entirely remotely. You don’t need to travel to Brisbane or anywhere else to pursue a claim. Everything from the initial consultation through to the resolution of your matter can be handled without you leaving Rockhampton.
Under the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (QLD), you generally have three years from the date you discovered the negligence — or reasonably ought to have discovered it. This isn’t always as clear-cut as it sounds. If you’re uncertain whether your limitation period is still open, get an assessment as soon as possible rather than assuming either way.
Nothing upfront. Fair Go Australia operates on a no-win, no-fee basis, which means you pay our legal fees only if your claim succeeds. The initial case evaluation is free and carries no obligation to proceed. For people who have already suffered a financial loss, this model removes the risk of compounding that loss by chasing a claim that doesn’t succeed.
