Fixed-Term Contracts

Fixed term contracts are rare in Australia, but they are permitted provided they are for a period that does not exceed two years (inclusive of any extensions). Ending a fixed term agreement before its expiration is considered a breach of the contract. It is more common to execute a "Maximum Term" agreement, where the arrangement expires at the end of the term but may be terminated by either party during the term.

Worker Classifications

There are no official subcategories of Workers. However, Workers may be engaged as "casual" meaning there is no commitment to provide work or a continued pattern of work. Casual Workers have different statutory entitlements.
