Service requirement & how to make a request
Service requirement
- Permanent employees: at least 12 months continuous service immediately before the request.
- Casual employees: regular and systematic employment for at least 12 months and a reasonable expectation of continuing on that basis.
How to request

We provide a template request letter you can adapt (insert link/place in your CMS).
Not the same as an IFA
Flexible working requests are different to Individual Flexibility Arrangements (IFAs), which formally vary specific award/EA terms for an individual.
