澳大利亚的《公平工作法》更新了以最起码的权利和标准赋予工作表现工人权力的立法。 Australia's Fair Work legislation updates empower gig workers with minimum rights and standards.

从8月26日起,澳大利亚更新的《公平工作法》更新后,赋予了从事工作(如Uber、Menulog)的工人最低标准和权利,而以前由于他们被归类为独立承包商而没有这样做。 From August 26, Australia's updated Fair Work legislation empowers gig workers (e.g., Uber, Menulog) with minimum standards and rights, previously absent due to their classification as independent contractors. 立法设立了两个新的类别:“雇员类”工人和“数字劳工平台操作员”。 The legislation creates two new categories: "employee-like" workers and "digital labour platform operators". 类似雇员的工人可以申请关于付款条件、记录保存和保险的量身定制的最低标准命令,而无需超时工资或名册安排限制。 Employee-like workers can apply for tailored minimum standards orders regarding payment terms, record-keeping, and insurance, without overtime rate or rostering arrangement restrictions. 新的系统旨在为工作与平台提供“公平走遍全局”机会, 但平台运营者负债问题依然存在。 The new system aims to provide a "fair go all round" for both gig workers and platforms, but questions on platform operators' liabilities remain.
