QLD Unreasonable Restraint of Trade Clause?

[OBE]

I have just quit my job and it says that I am restrained from working in my current field within a 50KM radius of my current employer's business and any of their retail stores across Australia for 6 months. Is the restraint of trade unreasonable under employment law? And the fact that I am not a manager nor have any clients. etc?

I have found a job that I would like to do, but it is within "50 KMs" of one of their retail stores. Help!

What to do depends on your personality type

Do you have their confidential business information (eg trade secrets), know their IP, have a specialist skill, were paid above award rates, have their customer contact details?

If you answered no to all these, you may be in safe ground.
