Employers must give casual employees a Casual Employment Information Statement before or as soon as possible after they start employment, and also at set times throughout their employment.

It must also be provided to casual employees at the following times during the employment relationship:

• for small business employers – after 12 months of employment

• for other employers – after 6 and 12 months of employment, and then after every 12 months of employment.

Employers can give casual employees the CEIS:

• in person

• by mail

• by email

• by emailing a link to this page of our website

• by emailing a link to a copy of the CEIS available on the employer's intranet

• by fax

• by another method.

Employers need to give casual employees the version of the CEIS that is in place when they have to issue the CEIS. Employers should check back here regularly to make sure they give the correct version.
