Eligible casuals can provide their employers with written notice that they want to change to full time or part time employment.
Employers should acquaint themselves with the changes, as they can only refuse a request for certain reasons.
The Fair Work Ombudsman has issued new templates including:
- Employee notifying the employer that they want to change to permanent employment – checklist and notification template. https://www.fairwork.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-02/sts-responding-to- employees-notice-to-change-to-permanent.docx
- Employer responding to an employee’s notice to change to permanent employment – checklist and response template. https://www.fairwork.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-02/sts-notifying-your-employer-to-change-to-permanent.docx
