Australian employment offer letter template

Offer work in Australian dollars. The Fair Work Act requires a national-system employer to give the Fair Work Information Statement. This letter does not replace that statement.

Official sources

Candidate

This is an offer of work. It does not become an employment contract, and it does not insert an at-will, non-compete, termination, or probation clause.

Choosing a country opens that page and keeps what you have typed.

This offer does not replace the Fair Work Information Statement, and it does not choose an award.

Casual is a term used in some countries, including Australia. Check whether it applies where the person will work.

Type a name only if you already know it. This page does not look up an award.

Leave this blank unless you are writing a figure you have chosen. This page does not insert a statutory minimum.

How to fill this in

Write the employer, the candidate, the job title, the place of work, the employment type, the start date, and the pay you are offering. The currency starts as AUD. Hours and leave stay blank until you type them. Casual, full-time, part-time, and fixed-term are labels you choose.

Section 125 of the Fair Work Act 2009 says the Fair Work Information Statement is given before, or as soon as practicable after, the employee starts. A new casual employee is also given the Casual Employment Information Statement, and a fixed-term employee the Fixed Term Contract Information Statement. National Employment Standards are minimum entitlements. Type an award or enterprise agreement name only if you already know it. This page does not look one up, does not fill in a pay rate, and does not apply to every employer outside the national system.

Choose A4 or US Letter before you download. Empty pay, dates, hours, and leave stay empty. The PDF does not add an at-will clause, a non-compete, a termination clause, or a probation period.

FAQ

Does this offer replace the Fair Work Information Statement?

No. The statement is a separate document. Sending this PDF does not provide it.

Will the page choose a modern award?

No. The award box appears so you can type a name you already know. It stays blank otherwise.

Does the PDF set annual leave?

No. Leave is printed only when you type it. The page does not calculate a National Employment Standards balance.
