Abstract/Citation
The Independent Contractors Act 2006 was developed to:
- protect the freedom of independent contractors to enter into services contracts
- recognise independent contracting as a legitimate form of work that is primarily commercial
- prevent parties from interfering with the terms of genuine independent contracting arrangements.
The Act does this by recognising that the rights, entitlements, obligations and liabilities of the parties involved in a services contract are governed by the terms of the contract.
