All employers in Australia must abide by the national employment standards guaranteed to all workers by the Australian Fair Work Act. These standards include: working hours, annual leave, flexible working arrangements, sick/caregiver’s leave, national holidays, compassionate leave, community service leave, notice of termination and redundancy pay, and unpaid parental leave.

The Australian government strongly prefers employers to hire indigenous workers from Australia. If you wish to create your own subsidiary and hire employees directly, you will be required to apply to become a sponser in order to recruit candidates.
The National Employment Standards provide multiple options for covering Australian workers under an employment contract. These options include an official contract, agreement, or an award.
Awards include the minimum standards of employment and has a set list of rules and conditions for all employees within a unique industry. They cover the basic rate of pay, type of employment, rates for overtime work, annual salary, allowances, redundancy, and stipulations of taking leave or placing a formal resignation.
An agreement (sometime referred to as an Enterprise Agreement) stated the working conditions for a group of employees within a single organization. These agreements are the most common way employers state their set wages and workplace conditions.
Written contracts are traditionally used for employees who do not qualify for an enterprise agreement or award. These include the employee’s personal and official job information, their pay rate, expected weekly hours, and entitlements for taking leave.
