Document background
The Client Engagement Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing and managing professional service relationships in Australia. It is typically used when a service provider, whether an individual consultant or a company, begins a new client engagement or formalizes an existing relationship. The agreement encompasses essential elements required under Australian law, including service scope, payment terms, liability provisions, and compliance with relevant legislation such as the Australian Consumer Law and Privacy Act 1988. This document is crucial for protecting both parties' interests, setting clear expectations, and ensuring regulatory compliance while providing a framework for successful service delivery and dispute resolution.
