Last year's ruling from the Fair Work Ombudsman, which came into effect on Monday, 1st Oct, says people working as regular casual employees are entitled to request their employment be converted to full-time or part-time. A regular casual employee is someone who has worked a pattern of hours on an ongoing basis for at least 12 months. For full-time work, that would be working an average of 38 hours or more per week across the year. A regular casual employee who works fewer than 38 hours on average per week could request permanent part-time.
