Work Trials

We may undertake brief work trials of potential team members. These trials will only be so potential team members can demonstrate a particular skill required for a job (such as how to safely use a hoist) and will always be less than one shift in duration. These brief trials are unpaid.

Individuals required to undertake any work trials for one full shift or longer to assess their suitability for ongoing employment will be paid for all hours worked at casual rates in accordance with provisions of the Fair Work Act, and be subject to all our standard employment terms and conditions.
