Consultancy agreement (pro-supplier) document detailing parties, background, and definitions.

About this Document

Use this template if you:
  • Are an Australian consultant or consultancy business supplying defined professional or business services to another business
  • Want an agreement drafted from the consultant’s commercial position, with stronger scope, payment and IP protections
  • Need to record the services, deliverables, milestones, acceptance criteria, fees and dependencies before work begins
  • Want clear mechanisms for change control, overdue invoices, suspension and termination
  • Are engaging in a genuine business-to-business consultancy that is not employment, financial or legal advice, medical services, construction work, government procurement or high-risk data processing
It is suited to:
  • Independent consultants and small to medium consultancy businesses
  • Businesses supplying defined deliverables to a client under an agreed scope and milestones
  • Consultant-side users wanting documented protections for fees, intellectual property and liability
What this template covers:
  • Engagement and term, including appointment, extension and non-exclusive working arrangements
  • Consultant obligations, method and subcontracting, balanced against client cooperation and dependencies
  • Included scope, change requests and approval, plus delivery, review and deemed acceptance
  • Fees, invoicing, GST, disputed invoices and overdue interest, along with suspension rights
  • Intellectual property, including retained background IP, the deliverable licence, an assignment option and embedded materials
  • Confidentiality, privacy, warranties, mutual indemnities and non-excludable statutory rights
  • Liability caps, excluded loss, proportionate responsibility and insurance requirements
  • Termination, transition assistance, force majeure, dispute resolution and general provisions, with Schedules for agreement details, services and deliverables, and fees, IP and insurance
You receive an editable Word document with placeholders for party details, governing law, scope, milestones, fees, IP position and insurance, plus company and individual execution blocks. It is a practical, lawyer-drafted starting point for standard consultancy engagements. Because it is supplier-protective and remains subject to the Australian Consumer Law and unfair contract terms regime, complex, regulated or unusual arrangements may still warrant tailored legal advice before signing.

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.
