Document background
The Addendum To Consulting Agreement is a critical document used when parties need to modify their existing consulting arrangement without creating an entirely new agreement. This document is particularly relevant in the Australian business context where consulting relationships often need to evolve to accommodate changing business needs, regulatory requirements, or market conditions. It must comply with Australian contract law principles and relevant legislation such as the Independent Contractors Act 2006 and the Competition and Consumer Act 2010. The addendum typically includes specific modifications to terms such as scope of work, fees, timeline, or deliverables, while explicitly preserving all unmodified terms from the original agreement. This approach provides a streamlined way to update consulting arrangements while maintaining legal certainty and continuity in the business relationship.
