Yeah, it’s completely wrong for Australia too. Never actually seen such a clause in an employment contract either, though I’ve only ever worked for smaller companies. I did once encounter a legally-unenforceable non-compete which I got removed easily. (Wish there was some sort of penalty for illegal contract clauses, because of their chilling effect.)

Its not completely wrong, I have seen it in two of my Australian employment contracts.
Reread the comment I was responding to. It’s about what the default is.
I stand by my statement.
