Recently I was offered a full time job.

I accepted the offer as it seemed to be more secure than the casual position I already had. Although employed as a casual, my former employer requested that I give them 2 weeks notice. My new employer said "that's fine" and that they would expect the same courtesy from their staff. Over the next 2 weeks I was doing some shifts with my new employer which we worked around my roster with the job that I was leaving. I finished my employment with my old workplace and was due to start full time with my new employer the next day.

2 hours before I was due to start I recieved a text fr my new boss saying " I'm terribly sorry, I feel dreadful to have to inform you that we no longer have a full time position available to you". Her reasons were that over the 2 weeks between accepting her offer and finishing with my old employer she had trained up a full team and no longer had room for me. I'm furious as her actions have now rendered me unemployed with 2 kids to support. This is the first time an employer has rescinded an offer with me and to be told 2 hours prior to starting work for them seems so unfair. I only gave notice to my former employer on the basis of her offer of a full time job. Do I have legal recourse in this matter??

The only detail now remaining is their medical clearances. I informed my lawyer that my fiance's 3 yr old daughter has thalassemia typing ea bart's disorder. The treatment she requires is a blood test every 3 months and she takes a tablet daily. She has never had a blood transfusion nor would she require a bone marrow transplant. Her doctors in Thailand have indicated in writting that her condition is not serious, However my lawyer has reacted badly to the news and told me that our application may well be refused by the department of immigration for reasons of what this condition could cost the comunity in financial terms. My lawyer has come to this conclusion without sighting a single medical report and i feel my lawyer is confusing ea bart's with more serious forms of thalassemia in coming to her doom and gloom conclusions. Doctors in Thailand have indicated that ea bart's is not serious and is easy and inexpensive to treat, whereas my lawyer is freaking out! can anyone give me any info to hep clear the confusion???
