From 26 August 2024, an employee is only a casual if:

there isn't a firm advance commitment to ongoing work, and
they're entitled to receive a casual loading or specific casual pay rate. When assessing if there is or isn't a firm advance commitment to ongoing work, there are several factors to consider, including the real substance, practical reality and true nature of the employment relationship. A regular pattern of work doesn't automatically mean the employee is permanent. Casual employees do not get paid sick leave or annual leave and are not usually entitled to notice of termination. This means a casual employee can be terminated at any time. Find more information about casual employees at fairwork.gov.au/casual.
