On 2 June 2025, Ms Paula Eliza Gurmendi Zacarias made an unfair dismissal application to the Fair Work Commission under s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth).
The application filed by Ms Gurmendi Zacarias was incomplete because she did not pay the application fee or apply for a waiver of the fee.

Ms Gurmendi Zacarias has had ample opportunity to rectify the deficiency in her application and has had ample opportunity to show why her application should not be dismissed under s.587 (see generally Bond v Carbridge Pty Ltd T/A Carbridge [2024] FWC 1302 at [15]-[16] and the cases cited therein).
I make the following order:
A.The application under s.394 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) made by Ms Paula Eliza Gurmendi Zacarias on 2 June 2025 is dismissed.
