My guess is that there will also be some kind of government body that can
help.
You might want to contact DEWR. They have a division for claiming lost
superannuation entitlements et al resulting from company bankruptcies, so I
am guessing that they have something suitable for unpaid wages. If you
search around HYPERLINK "http://www.dewr.gov.au/"http://www.dewr.gov.au/ to
find an number to call, then just start asking who is the right person to
talk to until you find them.
If you can’t get free help, then try Slater and Gordon if they exist in WA.
They will give free advice, and they are traditionally the trade union
lawyers who do “no win, no pay” actions.

Dear Damian (F-B)
If you are a member of the Australian Journalists' Association / Media
Entertainment Arts Alliance (MEAA) call your union rep at once and s/he will
help you to recover those (hopefully time-sheeted, signed and invoiced)
monies owing to you.
If you are not already a member, IMHO you should be. See the Alliance
Online @ HYPERLINK "http://www.alliance.org.au/"http://www.alliance.org.au/
and get cracking. They should still be able to assist as they are national
and, in my experience, enormously helpful with such matters.
That aside, there are always debt collection agencies, but they take a
floating percentage rate, depending upon the amount. Also, only use them if
you don't want to work for the "client" again.
Please contact me off list or by phone (number on my Web site or in the
white pages on-line) if I can be of any more assistance.
Hope that helps.
Regards and good luck.
