Some independent contractors have special laws that apply to them. These 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. For example, drivers for a rideshare or food delivery app may be regulated workers. While these workers may have some similar characteristics to an employee, they are still independent contractors. The Fair Work Commission can set rules about pay and conditions for these workers. For more information on regulated workers, visit fairwork.gov.au/regulated-workers.
