Teal independent MP Monique Ryan's former chief of staff is taking her to court, alleging breaches of the Fair Work Act.

Sally Rugg, the former executive director of Change.org, was employed by Dr Ryan after she won the federal seat of Kooyong from former treasurer Josh Frydenberg in May last year.

Ms Rugg on January 25 lodged an application in the Federal Court, alleging a breach of general protections under the act.

The application was filed against the Commonwealth and Dr Ryan.

The case has been listed for an interlocutory hearing in Melbourne on Friday.
