Casual conversion has been a thing for a while which I attempted to do at my work.
I was the second person in Australia to apply for conversion in a particular industry. The Fair Work Commissioner expressed excitement.
It failed. I followed up a year later, failed again. The follow up was just to let the FWC that my employer did nothing they said they would do. Turns out that my award has a single line that states both parties must agree to arbitration. Of course, I agreed but my employer didn’t. The Fair Work Commissioner could only make recommendations that didn’t mean shit.
Listening to the radio this morning, I can’t be sure that my particular loophole has been closed.

I await with bated breath.
