Workplace rights
In Australia, employers are required to provide employees with a contract of employment, which outlines the terms and conditions of employment. These terms and conditions must meet minimum standards set by the government. Learn what should be included in employment agreements, and where to go if you need help or advice to ensure your rights are being met.
