Employment Point-in-Time Service Updates

The Employment Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the Fair Work Amendment (Fixed Term Contracts) Regulations 2025 (Cth).

Fair Work Amendment (Fixed Term Contracts) Regulations 2025

These Regulations amend the Fair Work Regulations 2009 (Cth) (the Principal Regulations) to reflect the finding of the Secure Jobs, Better Pay Review Report that providing for exceptions in the Principal Regulations should be an option of last resort or for those circumstances where modern awards are not a solution. The Regulations include amendments to:

• make ongoing the existing exceptions for organised sports and high-performance sport - international event organising bodies, which applies to contracts entered into on or after 6 December 2023; and
• extend the operation of current exception in the charities and not-for profit, and medical or health research sectors to 1 November 2026, subject to the relevant entity having a total annual revenue of less than $10 million and $100 million respectively.

These amendments have been updated in the Point-in-Time Employment Service current to 4 November 2025. (Note: Subscription required).
