Fair Work Act 2009

An employer must give a casual employee the Casual Employment Information Statement:

before, or as soon as practicable after, the employee starts employment as a casual employee with the employer; and

as soon as practicable after the employee has been employed by the employer for a period of 6 months beginning the day the employment started; and

as soon as practicable after the following:

the employee has been employed by the employer for a period of 12 months beginning the day the employment started;

the end of any subsequent period of 12 months for which the employee is employed by the employer.

However, paragraph (1)(b) and subparagraph (1)(c)(ii) do not apply if at the time the employer has employed the employee for the period referred to in that paragraph or subparagraph, the employer is a small business employer.

This section does not, apart from the operation of paragraph (1)(b), require the employer to give the employee the Statement more than once in any 12 months.

This is relevant if the employer employs the employee more than once in the 12 months.
