    I agree with the others, say no to casual. Are you able to get a Medical Certificate to say that you need to work part time hours leading up to birth and take it out of your personal/sick leave entitlements? I am not sure how you are covered if you haven't got an award so not sure what you might be entitled to but it is worth a shot.

    Yeah my OB is pretty good and would give me a doctors certificate to say I can only do a certain amount of hours a week but I dunno if this would stop them making me casual or not. Im just gonna take maternity leave 4 weeks before im due and if i need a day off here and there, Ill just take sick leave and get a dr's certificate. Not much they can do about that Im afraid.
