Changes to contractor rules in Queensland: What it means for business

Join CCIQ's webinar with Gilchrest Connell Principal, Mark Curran to learn about changes to contractor laws and what the implications are for drafting of contracting agreements.

This year the High Court has handed two decisions about independent contracting relationships; finding contractual terms are the main focus when assessing contracting relationships. This means businesses have been afforded the opportunity for greater clarity and greater peace of mind when engaging contractors to rely on well drafted contractual arrangements with less risk of claims for employee entitlements.

Key takeaways:

  1. What the changes mean for you and your business.
  2. Why terms of a well-drafted written contract are essential.
  3. How CCIQ can support your business to manage your contractors now and in the future.
  4. Access a contract template to use in your business.
