Some independent contractors have special laws that apply to them. These types of contractors are called regulated workers. A regulated worker is an employee-like worker doing digital platform work (for example, work in the gig economy) or a regulated road transport contractor. The Fair Work Commission (the Commission) can set rules about dispute resolution for regulated workers. For more information on regulated workers visit fairwork.gov.au/regulated-workers
