Casual Work

In Australia, there are more than two million workers employed casually. Under the Fair Work Act, you are classified as a casual employee if you accept an offer of employment where there is no firm advance commitment to ongoing work with an agreed pattern of work. Casual workers are entitled to some but not all of the benefits given to permanent workers. In this section you will find information on:

  • Changes to casual employment – Fair Work Amendment Act 2021
  • Casual Work and Union Membership
  • Conversion from Casual to Permanent Work
