Bumpd

What It Does

Bumpd is a not-for-profit self-help legal app in Australia that helps new and expecting parents who have faced workplace discrimination — such as sham redundancies tied to pregnancy or parental leave — generate a legal claim without a lawyer. It guides a user through their situation and produces a document they can lodge with the Fair Work Commission. It sits at the document-generation and filing stages of an employment-discrimination matter, aimed at self-represented individuals rather than law firms.

What We Found

Bumpd was conceived by Australian lawyers and legal-technology specialists Daniel Yim and Erin Kanygin, and built during Melbourne’s 2021 lockdowns. It is registered as a not-for-profit and was funded by the Australian Legal Technology Association and the Victoria Law Foundation. The app was built on Checkbox, a no-code legal-automation platform. Its framing references an Australian Human Rights Commission finding that a significant share of mothers experienced job loss connected to pregnancy or parental leave.
