A full time employee basically cannot be fired without cause - only made redundant.

That's generally true for casual employees as well. It's just that one of the "causes" might be "we don't have a shift for you this week".

That one isn't always available to the employer though. Where I work, and I'm casual by the way, I can see six months of work on my schedule. If I were dismissed with "we don't have any work for you" then I'm pretty sure Fair Work would have something to say about it.
