440  Before section 322
Insert:

      Division 5 is about fixed term contracts.
      A contract of employment must not include a term that provides the contract will terminate at the end of an identifiable period if:
             (a) the period is greater than 2 years; or
             (b) the contract can be renewed so that the employee is employed for more than 2 years; or
             (c) in certain circumstances, the employee is employed under consecutive contracts.
      However, such a term may be included in some circumstances, including where a modern award permits the term.
      The Fair Work Ombudsman must prepare a Fixed Term Contract Information Statement, which must be given to certain current and prospective employees.
