New labour rules 2025: More opportunities for flexi-jobbers and students

Good news for flexi-workers and businesses: the new federal government is planning a series of measures that make flexi-jobs and student jobs more attractive and more accessible. These reforms offer new possibilities to both extra earners and employers in 2025.

Flexi-jobs expand into new sectors

Until now, flexi-jobs were mainly allowed in sectors such as hospitality and retail. But that is changing. The government is expanding the system into additional sectors such as:

• Agriculture and horticulture
• Care institutions
• Sports clubs and event organisations

For anyone looking to earn extra, this is an excellent opportunity. Businesses can also benefit from a larger inflow of staff who can be deployed flexibly.

Student work becomes smoother and more flexible

Students get more room to work in 2025. Although the ceiling of 600 hours still applies, there will be more flexibility in how those hours are spread out. That means:

• Less rigid quarterly restrictions
• Responding better to busy periods such as the summer or the end-of-year season
• Easier registration through online systems

This is ideal for students who want to earn extra and for businesses looking for temporary support.
