Can I choose specific days I am free?
Not yet. You set an overall availability (full-time, part-time, weekends only, casual / on-call or one-off jobs) and switch “available” on or off. The calendar shows shifts you have worked.
For workers
Show employers you are available, and keep your shifts on a calendar
Updated
Hirers look for people who can start. In Yakka Labour you switch on “available”, say how you like to work, and your profile calendar shows the shifts you have already done, so employers can see you are active.
How it works
-
Switch on available
Turn on the available switch on your profile when you are looking for work, and off when you are booked up.
-
Say how you like to work
Answer “When can you work?” with full-time, part-time, weekends only, casual / on-call or one-off jobs.
-
Your shifts fill the calendar
Every shift you complete, with hours, breaks and rate, appears on your profile calendar along with confirmed job dates.
How employers use it
Employers can filter applicants by how they like to work, so a weekend-only worker is not offered a Monday start. The available switch also decides who is shown as available and who receives job alerts from new quick posts.
Casual work, on your terms
Casual work is flexible both ways. Know where you stand with casual worker rights and casual loading, and find flexible roles in casual jobs Australia.
FAQ
Who can see my availability?
Employers viewing your profile or your applications can see how you like to work and whether you are currently available.
Does being available affect job alerts?
Yes. Alerts for new quick posts go to workers who are marked available and have the matching trade.
