Fair Work Commission
From 6 December 2023, new limits on the use of fixed term contracts will be in place. For employees other than casuals, this includes:
- Maximum 2-year contract period - A fixed term contract can't be for a period of more than 2 years, including renewals and extensions.
- No more than 2 consecutive contracts - In certain circumstances, an employee can't have more than 2 consecutive contracts for the same or similar work.
If an employee and employer are in dispute about a fixed term contract, and the issue can't be resolved at the workplace, the Commission may be able to deal with the dispute. This includes by mediation, conciliation or consent arbitration.
