From www.holdingredlich.com: On 25 February 2025, the Fair Work (Road Transport Industry Termination Code) Instrument 2024 took effect, mandating a process for terminating regulated road transport contractors, providing protections against unfair termination.

The code requires warnings and gives contractors an opportunity to show cause before termination, with specific decision-making criteria for businesses.

Exceptions exist for immediate termination in cases of serious misconduct, and the Fair Work Commission can address disputes regarding unfair terminations.
