⚠️ A statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy has applied since June 2025 and may apply to this business even where the small business exemption otherwise applies.

— — — ⚠️ This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. Australian workplace, consumer-protection, food safety, and work health & safety law combines uniform federal rules (Fair Work Act 2009, the National Employment Standards, the applicable Modern Award, the Australian Consumer Law) with state- and territory-specific rules that this template flags with ⚠️ but does not resolve for you — have it reviewed and adapted by a lawyer before use, check the current Fair Work Ombudsman resources at fairwork.gov.au (including free official templates and the P.A.C.T. pay calculator), and confirm the Modern Award classification and minimum pay rate in force on the date of use (rates change every 1 July).
