Document background
The Independent Contractor Application Template is a crucial document for Australian businesses engaging external service providers. It is designed to facilitate the initial engagement process between companies and potential contractors while ensuring compliance with Australian contractor legislation. This template is used when a business needs to formally assess and document potential contractor relationships, capturing essential information about the contractor's business structure, services, and commercial terms. The document helps organizations maintain proper records for tax purposes, establish clear business-to-business relationships, and avoid misclassification risks under Australian law. It serves as the first step in establishing a formal contractor relationship and can be used across various industries and service types.
