We're contracted for a 36 hour week (including breaks), but beyond that in the enroute environment the schedules vary wildly based on the group ("department"), stage of training, etc. I can only speak for my mate who's fully rated, but he does a big mix and match of morning and arvo shifts, with at max 2 overnights (doggos) per fortnight. Beyond that, he doesn't get all his days off in a row, and his schedule doesn't repeat weekly or anything like that.
Mix in some (somewhat compulsory) overtime, and you get your schedule. He likes his, and is at home a fair bit, so it works for him.
