Document background
This Non Fixed Term Contract template is designed for use in establishing permanent employment relationships under Australian law. It should be used when hiring employees on an ongoing basis without a specified end date, as distinct from fixed-term or casual employment arrangements. The document incorporates all essential elements required by Australian employment law, including compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009, National Employment Standards, and relevant state legislation. It covers fundamental aspects such as employment terms, duties, remuneration, leave entitlements, and termination provisions, while allowing for customization based on industry requirements and specific role responsibilities. This template is particularly relevant in the current Australian employment landscape where permanent employment remains a cornerstone of workforce arrangements.
