Being told that roster is a guide for when you'll finish

Okay so I've started at a new centre as a casual, I was rostered on to finish at 4pm and so at 4 I checked if I was allowed to go as I knew we were okay for ratio but I was told I couldn't and that the finishing time is just a guide. I ended up hanging around until nearly 5pm.
I've worked as a casual in a few different centres but have always been told/asked to stay back longer. Usually I would be sent home earlier if ratio was okay.
I know on the roster it says finishing times are a guide and not a set time but is this even allowed? From a legal perspective?
I'm happy to be a team player but I'm also not going to get used so other staff can sit inside and have a chat while I'm left with all the children.
