ETA: Apologies in advance for information overload - this is an issue I am extremely passionate about.
They have to offer you a comparable position to the one you prevously held, or make you redundant. They cant offer you one day a week if you were full time previously, and then use that as evidence that they tried to obey the law.
I would get legal advice as soon as possible, preferably before your meeting with them.
Also have a look at the Victorian Industrial Relations website and maybe contact someone there to see where you stand - its really important that you know this before you go in to the meeting with them so that they cant pull the wool over your eyes.
