From www.hallpayne.com.au: Rights and entitlements, such as pay and workplace safety, remain consistent with those of regular employees regardless of probation status.

Probation periods in Australia typically last 3 to 6 months, allowing employers to assess a new employee’s suitability for their role.

Employees can be terminated or resign during this period, with specific notice requirements outlined in their contracts, and they retain rights to protections under the Fair Work Act, including potential claims for unfair dismissal or general protections violations.
