Introduction to employment and contracts – skills series
The workplace is more than just a hub of daily tasks—it's a complex web of rights, responsibilities, and relationships. Whether you're shaping policies as an employer, advocating as an employee, or navigating the nuances of human resources, understanding the foundation of employment law is pivotal.
This course goes beyond the basics of employment contracts and relationships; it equips you with the tools to confidently navigate workplace dynamics.
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Explain the key sources of Australian employment law, including common law and state and federal legislation, and describe how these sources intersect.
- Apply legal tests to identify whether a worker is classified as an "employee" and understand different types of employment contracts, including the specific requirements for validity.
- Distinguish between express and implied terms in employment contracts, including how implied terms may be excluded and policy documents incorporated.
- Differentiate between awards, enterprise agreements, and common law contracts within the employment law framework.
Course Structure
- Introduction to employment
- Employment vs other relationships
- Types of employment contracts
- Contents of an employment contract
I found this course quite challenging, but have learnt much more about the practical part than I ever did during university.

Each course offers a mix of engaging exercises, where you’ll gain access to:
- Interactive activities to challenge your understanding and put your knowledge to the test. You’ll also enjoy engaging exercises, such as flip cards, quizzes and drafting activities.
- Clearly identified outcomes so you know precisely what you’ll learn – and the skills you’ll gain. You’ll also be able to track your development and focus on key improvement areas.
- Extended course access so you can reference the material as you need – or revisit it should life get in the way.
- Feedback and template answers so you can refine your skills, grow your knowledge and gain fresh insights.
Access each module on the College’s learning portal. When you buy a single, you’ll have 24/7 unlimited access for 12-months from the date of purchase.
