Some unpaid work arrangements are lawful and others are not. Depending on the nature of the arrangement, the person doing the work may be an employee and be entitled to be paid the legal minimum rate of pay for the type of work they're doing, along with other minimum employment entitlements. Whether an unpaid work arrangement is lawful under the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) depends on:
- whether an employment relationship exists, or
- whether the arrangement involves a vocational placement.
