AI Hallucination Mitigation
We don't just give you an AI answer — we show you where it comes from, what the risks are, and when to talk to a human.
Grounded in verified sources
We use Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) so every answer is drawn from a curated knowledge base — not guessed by the model.
Cited sources
Where possible, answers reference specific Fair Work Act sections, award clauses, or case references so you can verify the answer yourself.
Multiple risk scenarios
Instead of one definitive answer, the AI presents low, medium, and high-risk scenarios with consequences and recommended next steps.
Tailored to your business
The AI factors in your business size, industry, and location to deliver more relevant and context-aware guidance.
Human expert escalation
Premium users can escalate complex or high-risk matters directly to a qualified human HR expert for professional review.
Clear disclaimers on every response
All AI outputs include a visible disclaimer stating the guidance is general in nature and not a substitute for formal legal advice.
See what you get on day one.
Four tools, one subscription. Built for Australian small business.
AI chat with risk scores
Ask any workplace question — get a Green / Amber / Red rating, plain-English answer, and the next step.

Upload a contract, payslip or policy. Get a risk score and a list of issues with suggested fixes.

I used to spend Sunday nights googling Fair Work questions and stressing about whether I had the right answer. Now I just ask PocketHR and get a clear, risk-scored response in seconds. It’s like having an HR consultant in my back pocket.
Lisa Chen
Café Owner — Regional Victoria
The plain-English explanations are what sold me. I’m not a lawyer — I need to know what I can and can’t do, quickly, without wading through legislation. This gives me that confidence every time.
James Miller
Site Manager — Construction
We’re a small family business in Gippsland. Before this, I’d put off tricky conversations because I didn’t know where to start. The templates and risk scores mean I now handle things properly, without the $400-an-hour bill.
Sarah Henderson
Owner — Manufacturing
As a publican, I deal with casuals, penalties, and award rates constantly. PocketHR has saved me hours of confusion and given me the confidence to manage my team properly. Worth every cent.

Michael Snow
AHRI Certified HR Practitioner · CPHR
I have spent nearly 20 years in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, working with businesses right across Australia. My career spans enterprise bargaining, workplace investigations, award interpretation, change management, strategic guidance, coaching and hands-on small-business HR support — always with a focus on protecting employers while treating people fairly.
I built My PocketHR for the owner-operators and small to medium employers who keep Australian businesses running — the pub, the cafe, the trades business, the growing team — because they deserve the same quality HR guidance the big end of town takes for granted, without the city price tag.
"I built this for the publican, the cafe owner, the local builder and every small to medium business owner who deserves great HR advice without the city price tag."
