In UK nomenclature being made redundant, rounds of redundancies, and layoffs are used interchangeably. A percentage of the workforce loses their job because of circumstances outside their control.

To be fired/sacked though, that very specifically means you did bad; you failed to do your job.

It's probably similar in Australia?

Tbf, I didn't see the .au in the URL.

Good point on the distinction between layoff and firing though. Although I still dislike "redundant" as a synonym for the former.
