32636 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety

32636 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: Has the Minister seen any advice saying that part-time workers get sick less often than full-time workers?

Hon Brooke van Velden: No. However, because part-time workers are less likely than full-time workers to be scheduled to be at work at the time they are sick, it is appropriate that their sick leave entitlements be scaled proportionally to reflect their working hours.
