Frequently asked questions
- Why switch from casual to permanent? Permanent work offers job security and leave accrual; casuals get loading and flexibility.
- I fit the permanent definition but want to stay casual. The Government has said the changes do not force casuals to convert; they provide choice.
- What if I apply to become permanent and my shifts are cut? That can be adverse action. Seek assistance—this may be a general protections issue.
