Subcontractor Agreement

For when you engage individual contractors to deliver supports — remembers that you remain accountable.

When you engage a contractor to deliver supports on your behalf, the participants are still YOUR participants and the NDIS Commission still holds YOU accountable. This agreement sets the terms — what the contractor does, the standards they meet, and your respective obligations.

Covers scope, compliance requirements (screening, training, insurance), Practice Standards compliance, conduct standards, fees and invoicing, confidentiality, IP, termination, independent contractor status, dispute resolution, and governing law.
