Dedicated Assault-At-Work Lawyers


Workplace assault matters can involve competing accounts, employer processes, police investigations and serious reputational consequences. Therefore, early legal advice is critical. Bazzi Law provides careful representation tailored to the facts, so you can respond properly to allegations, protect your position and navigate court proceedings with discretion and experienced advocacy.

Understanding Workplace Assault

Assault can arise in a wide range of settings, from offices and retail premises to construction sites, hospitality venues and transport depots. It may involve allegations of physical violence, threats, intimidation or unwanted physical contact (like pushing, striking, grabbing or threatening conduct).

These matters can become more complex when they intersect with employer investigations and workplace policies. It’s important to obtain legal advice early from a professional workplace assault lawyer, so you understand the allegations and the appropriate next steps.

Penalties of Workplace Assault

The penalty for workplace assault depends on the charge and the harm alleged. In Queensland, conduct may be treated as common assault (Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld), s 335), assault occasioning bodily harm where injury is alleged (s 339) or grievous bodily harm in more serious cases (s 320). If you’ve been charged or assaulted at work, a lawyer can assess the allegation, explain the applicable charge and provide strategic advice from the outset.

Possible Defences for Assault Charges

Typical defences include:

  • Self-defence

    Self-defence may apply where force was used to protect yourself or another person, provided the response was reasonably necessary.

  • Lack of Intent or Accident

    Some allegations arise from sudden workplace incidents where contact was accidental, misunderstood or occurred without deliberate intention to assault.

  • Identification and Factual Dispute

    A defence may arise where the allegations are inaccurate, witness accounts conflict or the prosecution cannot prove who caused the assault.

    Frequently asked questions

    • What should I do if I’m accused of assaulting someone at work?

      Get legal advice immediately from an assault-at-work lawyer and avoid giving informal explanations. You should also comply carefully with any police direction, bail condition or court notice.

    • Can my employer’s investigation affect my criminal matter?

      Yes. A workplace investigation can create witness statements, records and factual disputes that may overlap with the criminal case. In some matters, an employer process may continue while criminal proceedings are on foot, although whether it should pause is considered case by case. That overlap makes early legal advice important.

    • Will a conviction impact my job or professional registration?

      It can. The effect depends on your role, industry, employer policies, licence conditions and any reporting obligations tied to your profession. Some clients also face reputational and disciplinary consequences beyond the court outcome. That is why it is important to address both the immediate charge and the broader employment implications early.

    • How can Bazzi Law assist with both the criminal and workplace aspects?

      Bazzi Law can advise on the criminal allegation itself, the court process and the practical overlap with your workplace position. Our professional workplace assault lawyers will review the charge, prepare your response and help you approach employer-related issues carefully while proceedings are underway.
