This Standard Contractor Agreement Template is designed for use in Australia to formalise the engagement of an independent contractor. It provides a clear framework to manage the relationship by defining the scope of work, setting out payment terms, confirming the contractor's independent status, and addressing key legal aspects such as intellectual property, confidentiality, and liability. Using this template helps create legally sound contractor relationships in Australia, ensuring clarity and reducing potential disputes.
