ContractRight provides business owners, managers, CFOs and operations leaders a genuine contractor and contingent worker engagement framework, backed by 20 years of grounding in Australian common law precedent, so growth and agility never come at the cost of compliance.
Not a template. A framework refined over twenty years alongside Australia’s leading legal and accounting firms.
Refined in conjunction with Australia’s top tier legal and accounting practices.
Full precedent documentation available — we’ve been through review with public and private company legal teams.
20+ years of continuous operation across many industries with a clean record.
Every engagement is tailored to your industry, workforce, and operational requirements.
The Closing Loopholes legislation changed how employment relationships are assessed. Courts now look at the practical reality of your arrangements — not just what your contracts say.
An ABN is a tax registration number — not a business licence. Having one doesn't make someone a contractor, doesn't remove your superannuation obligations, and won't protect you in an audit.
Courts now examine how work is actually performed day to day — not just what the paperwork says. Paper compliance is dead.
The ATO has consistently rejected this. Superannuation obligations can't be contracted out of — and they can apply even when a contractor works through their own company, if they're caught by the Personal Services Income rules.
Industry practice isn’t a legal defence in Australia. The ATO uses data matching technology and receives a high volume of tip offs — the fact that competitors haven’t been caught yet doesn’t mean their arrangements are lawful.
Our framework rests on a proven common law precedent — not creative workarounds or template contracts. People engaged through our system are genuinely self-employed by design.
We provide the legal precedent, the relevant ATO guidance, and the validation documentation — and let your advisors confirm what we already know.
There's no employer-employee relationship between your business and the contractor — not just on paper, but in how the arrangement genuinely operates day to day.
Contractors in our framework don't need to prove they run a business enterprise or satisfy the strict Personal Services Income tests. Compliant by design, not by argument.
Every business we work with wanted the same two things: a workforce that can scale when work demands it, and the confidence that it’s built to last under the Fair Work Act, ATO and PSI rules as they stand today.
