Independent contractors

Contracting relationships may be subject to the operation of the Independent Contractors Act 2006 (Cth) (IC Act).

This legislation applies to specified forms of “services contracts” and certain state or territory legislation does not apply to the parties to such a contract. Part 3 of the IC Act establishes a process for the review of harsh or unfair contracts, on application to a competent court by a party to a services contract covered by the legislation.
