Paperwork checklist for a service business.
One page you can print and stick near the desk. What you have, what you are missing, and what each one stops. Free, no account.
Where should we send it?
You get the checklist, then two short emails over ten days about the documents businesses like yours buy first. Reply stop and they stop.

What is on it
Service Agreement
Stops: This names both sides and writes down exactly what you agreed to do, so nobody argues about it later.
Quote Terms and Conditions
Stops: Puts a use by date on your price and makes the terms bite the moment the customer says yes.
Privacy Policy
Stops: Tells people whose policy this is and which law you are following, which Australian Privacy Principle 1 requires you to do.
Independent Contractor Agreement
Stops: Names both businesses with both ABNs and makes clear there is no guaranteed roster, which is what a contractor arrangement looks like.
