Document background
A Contract Hire Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Australia that engage contractors or consultants for specific projects or ongoing services. This document is designed to establish clear contractual relationships while ensuring compliance with Australian legislation, including the Independent Contractors Act 2006, Fair Work Act 2009, and relevant state laws. It is particularly useful when engaging professional services providers, technical specialists, or project-based contractors. The agreement includes comprehensive terms covering service scope, payment structures, duration, performance standards, and compliance requirements. It helps protect both parties' interests by clearly defining responsibilities, obligations, and termination conditions while maintaining appropriate contractor independence.
