An announcement is expected from the government today to aid the country's 2 million casual workers
In the new year, the government will attempt to implement laws to give all casual workers the right to request a move to full-time or part-time work after being in their role for 12 months continuously.
Employers would still be able to say no under this new law, but risk opening themselves up to legal action if they fail to provide reasonable business grounds for doing so.
