Australia fixed-term contract: can my employer keep renewing it?

Jez Smith4 October 2026

Fair Work says there are renewal and consecutive-contract limits. A fixed-term contract generally cannot contain more than one extension option, and back-to-back fixed-term contracts can breach the rules in some circumstances. Exceptions exist, so the dates and work performed matter. Official source: Fair Work Ombudsman. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/employment-workplace-problems
