A contract for services sets out the terms of the relationship between a person requesting the services (i.e. the principal) and the person performing the services (i.e. the independent contractor). A contract for services is not an employment contract.
Employees generally have set minimum legal entitlements (eg: annual leave, sick leave and superannuation contributions to the employee’s nominated superannuation fund) and are subject to the control and direction of the employer.
Independent contractors tend to run their own businesses and are generally free to negotiate their own fees and working arrangements. Unlike employees (who work for a single employer) independent contractors may provide services to a wide range of clients.
This hint is provided by Law Central Legal.
There are a number of factors which may contribute to determining the difference between an employee and an independent contractor. However, it is important to note that no single indicator can determine if a person is a contractor or an employee. Courts always look at the totality of the relationship between the parties when determining the status of a person's employment.
There are some common indicators that may contribute to determining whether a person is an employee or independent contractor:
This hint is provided by Law Central Legal.
The Principal is the person or company that is seeking to use the services of the Contractor.
If the Principal is Human / Human Trustee: insert the Principal's first name into the First Name field, the Principal's middle name into the Middle Name field and the Principal's surname in the Last Name field.
(Eg: Fred John Smith)
If the Principal is a Company / Company Trustee: insert the name of the Company into the Company Name field.
Insert the ACN (Australian Company Number) or ABN (Australian Business Number) into the ACN/ABN field. If you don't know your ACN/ABN then put in some full stops ............................. and handwrite it in later.
(Eg: "Olympus Pty Ltd ACN 123 456 789" or "Olympus Pty Ltd ACN .............................")
If the Principal is a Partnership: insert the Principal's first name into the First Name field, the Principal's middle name into the Middle Name field and the Principal's surname in the Last Name field, then click "Add" to add another partner. The words "(a firm)" will automatically be inserted into the Agreement.
(Eg: "Dr James Smith and Dr Eli Gabby (a firm)")
This hint is provided by Law Central Legal.
No. Only legal entities like a human, company or incorporated association can be a party to the Agreement.
(Eg: Olympus Pty Ltd trading as Olympus Seafood. "Olympus Seafood" is a business name, whilst "Olympus Pty Ltd" is the legal entity capable of entering into contracts).

Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), every company in Australia has been issued with a unique nine-digit number known as an Australian Company Number (ACN), which must be shown on a range of documents. The purpose of the ACN is to ensure adequate identification of companies when transacting business. New companies are issued with numbers by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) upon registration.
A company's ACN should appear on all of its "public documents" and "eligible negotiable instruments," including but not limited to the following:
all documents required to be lodged with ASIC;
statements of account, including invoices;
receipts (which are not machine-produced);
orders for goods and services;
business letterheads;
official company notices;
cheques, promissory notes and bills of exchange; and
written advertisements making a specific offer which is capable of being accepted (such as by the completion of an order form).
This hint is provided by Law Central Legal.
If you do not have an ACN, then you can insert your Australian business number (ABN) into the ACN/ABN field.
The Australian business number (ABN) is a unique 11 digit identifier that makes it easier for businesses and all levels of government to interact.
It is not compulsory to have an ABN, but it is an essential component for businesses to operate within the goods and services (GST) system. If you are registered for GST, you will need to put your ABN on your invoices to make them "tax invoices".

Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), every company in Australia has been issued with a unique nine-digit number known as an Australian Company Number (ACN), which must be shown on a range of documents. The purpose of the ACN is to ensure adequate identification of companies when transacting business. New companies are issued with numbers by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) upon registration.
A company's ACN should appear on all of its "public documents" and "eligible negotiable instruments," including but not limited to the following:
all documents required to be lodged with ASIC;
statements of account, including invoices;
receipts (which are not machine-produced);
orders for goods and services;
business letterheads;
official company notices;
cheques, promissory notes and bills of exchange; and
written advertisements making a specific offer which is capable of being accepted (such as by the completion of an order form).

A contract for services sets out the terms of the relationship between a person requesting the services (i.e. the principal) and the person performing the services (i.e. the independent contractor). A contract for services is not an employment contract.
Employees generally have set minimum legal entitlements (eg: annual leave, sick leave and superannuation contributions to the employee’s nominated superannuation fund) and are subject to the control and direction of the employer.
Independent contractors tend to run their own businesses and are generally free to negotiate their own fees and working arrangements. Unlike employees (who work for a single employer) independent contractors may provide services to a wide range of clients.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad based tax on the supply of most goods and services consumed or supplied in Australia. The GST rate is currently 10%.
Once an entity is registered, GST will be payable on most goods and services it sells or supplies in the course of its business.
Registered entities will include GST in the price of the things their customers purchase or acquire (acquisitions) for their own businesses. However, their customers may be entitled to claim input tax credits from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) if they are registered for GST and the acquisitions are for a creditable purpose (these are known as creditable acquisitions).
Input tax credits can only be claimed if an entity has an ABN, is registered for GST and the supplier they bought supplies from is registered for GST and shows its ABN on tax invoices.

it contains enough information to enable the following to be clearly identified:
the supplier's identity and ABN;
a brief description of what is sold/supplied including the quantity and/or price of what is sold/supplied;
the extent to which each sale is a taxable sale (this can be shown separately or, if the GST to be paid is exactly one-eleventh of the total price, as a statement such as "total price includes GST");
the date the document is issued;
the amount of GST (if any) payable for each sale;
if the document was issued by the recipient (i.e. the Principal) and GST is payable for any sale – that the GST is payable by the supplier;and

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a broad based tax on the supply of most goods and services consumed or supplied in Australia. The GST rate is currently 10%.
Once an entity is registered, GST will be payable on most goods and services it sells or supplies in the course of its business.
Registered entities will include GST in the price of the things their customers purchase or acquire (acquisitions) for their own businesses. However, their customers may be entitled to claim input tax credits from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) if they are registered for GST and the acquisitions are for a creditable purpose (these are known as creditable acquisitions).
Input tax credits can only be claimed if an entity has an ABN, is registered for GST and the supplier they bought supplies from is registered for GST and shows its ABN on tax invoices.

For your protection and security your connection to www.lawcentral.com.au times out every 10 minutes if you haven't pressed "next" or had some activity. So, to save you time, you may want to consider typing up and saving on your own computer (say for example in word or notepad) what you want to say in the document before you start to build it. That way, if your session does expire for non-activity, you will still have a copy of your text.
