Lena,

Liz is right - if you weren't a casual then you have rights and there is minimum time to be notified before you either leave or stop getting paid. If you were a casual you have less rights about notification time. Are you a member of a Union? It's be worth talking to them about it if you are a member.

Are you checking the Jobsearch database every day? There are heaps of jobs in Sydney listed there.
