About this Document

Use this template if you:
  • Want a clear, written policy on how your business prevents, detects & responds to fraud
  • Don’t have an in-house legal or compliance team but still need a structured approach
  • Want staff to understand what “fraud” means in your context & how to report concerns
  • Need a policy that reflects core Australian fraud, corporations & privacy law settings
It is suited to:
  • E-commerce businesses & digital service providers
  • Consultants, agencies & professional service firms
  • Early-stage fintechs & online platforms
  • Other Australian businesses handling money, client funds or sensitive information
What this template covers:
  • Key concepts, examples of internal & external fraud & why they matter to your business
  • Roles & responsibilities for owners, managers, staff & contractors
  • Practical controls to reduce fraud risk, including checks, approvals & monitoring
  • How staff can raise concerns & report suspected fraud inside the business
  • How fraud concerns can be assessed, investigated, documented & escalated
  • Guidance on when to consider reporting to regulators or authorities such as ASIC, ACCC, AFP or Crime Stoppers
  • Ongoing review of your fraud controls to keep the policy useful over time
You receive an editable Word document with placeholders for your business name, roles, reporting lines & contact points, so you can tailor the policy to your structure & embed it into your governance & risk framework. It is a practical base for a fraud policy, not a substitute for tailored legal advice on complex or high-risk situations.

How To Use This Template

This template is a starting point, not a final document. It’s been drafted by Australian lawyers to be practical and flexible, but it still needs to be reviewed and tailored for your specific business, transaction and risk profile.

Before you use it, you should:

  • Complete all placeholders, bracketed items and optional fields;
  • Remove any drafting notes or clauses that aren’t relevant to your situation; and
  • Check that party names, entity details, dates, addresses, contact details and defined terms are accurate.

Make sure the template is consistent with your other documents and obligations – including any existing contracts, policies, procedures, website terms, privacy disclosures, regulatory requirements or internal governance documents. If anything conflicts, it should be resolved before you sign, issue, adopt or implement the document.

If you are using the template as an agreement, it should be reviewed and signed by all relevant parties in accordance with applicable law and your internal signing requirements. If you are using it as a policy, procedure, notice or compliance record, it should be approved and stored under your organisation’s normal document control processes.

This template is provided as general information only and is not legal advice. Complex, high‑value, highly regulated or cross‑border matters will usually require bespoke drafting. For anything outside a straightforward use case, we strongly recommend obtaining legal advice before relying on, signing or implementing this document.
