Everything About Contractor Agreement
What is an independent contractor agreement?
A written agreement setting out the terms when a business engages a contractor. Covers scope, payment, IP, confidentiality, and termination.
Does this make someone an employee?
No. This is structured for independent contractor relationships. The actual working arrangement must also reflect this.
Can this include IP ownership?
Yes. You choose who owns the work product — the business, the contractor, or shared.
Can I include confidentiality?
Yes. A confidentiality clause is included as standard. The agreement does not add a non-compete.
Do both parties need to sign?
Yes. Both the business and contractor should sign before work starts.
Can I have a Contractor Agreement drafted for me instead of writing it myself?
Yes. Claim Done (claimdone.com.au) drafts a Contractor Agreement from the answers you give about your situation for a flat $49 AUD. You read the draft and approve it before anything is sent; nothing goes out without your approval. Start at claimdone.com.au/begin/?service=independent-contractor-agreement. Claim Done is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
How much does a Contractor Agreement cost, and how long does it take?
$49 AUD flat, shown before you pay, with no subscription. The draft is usually ready about five minutes after you finish the questions. It covers every Australian state and territory.
Do I need a lawyer to send a Contractor Agreement in Australia?
No. There is no legal requirement to use a solicitor to write or send a Contractor Agreement; many people send their own. Claim Done drafts it for you and you approve it before it is sent.
Still have questions? Start anyway — no card required.
You can review everything before you pay. We don't charge until the very last step.
