Permanent work

The majority of jobs in Australia are permanent, so it is important to have an understanding of all the in's and out's.

The benefits of permanent work

  • Permanent work offers a chance to extend your skills and experience.  Permanent roles will offer training and development and to a certain extent future career prospects within the organisation.
  • Permanent roles usually offer great packages with add-ons such as bonuses, superannuation plans and/or a car allowance.  It is important to consider all of these add-ons when looking at permanent roles.
  • Permanent roles also offer generous holidays, along with paid sick days and statutory holidays (which are not paid when contracting).  Annual leave varies between 20-38 days.

As a permanent employee you will be employed directly by the company under a compulsory superannuation scheme.  You have the freedom to elect a super fund of your choice and your employer will make contributions to your fund.
