Variation on the Commission's own initiative—Casual employment terms (AM2024/29)

19 Jul 2024
Body

The Fair Work Amendment (Closing Loopholes No.2) Act 2024 makes several changes to the Fair Work Act 2009. These include changes to casual employment which start from 26 August 2024.

We have decided to start a new case to consider whether current modern award terms should be varied because of these changes.

A Full Bench has issued a Statement today ([2024] FWCFB 312) expressing provisional views about how modern awards should be changed. The Full Bench has also published a sample of draft determinations to show the changes.

Get involved

If interested, you can make a submission in response to the provisional views and draft determinations. Your submissions must be sent to us by 12pm (AEST) on Monday 29 July 2024.

A new case page has been created on our website. We will publish submissions and other documents on this page.
