Questions

Good to know.

What format do I get?

Every document is a Word file (.docx). You can open it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs (free). Edit your details, delete the instruction page, and save as PDF when you're done.

Are these written for farming businesses, or generic templates dressed up?

Written for farming. Every document covers seasonal workforces, Award coverage, on-farm safety, contractors, and the way farming operations run. Not office templates with the word "farm" dropped in.

Which states do these cover?

The core Fair Work obligations apply nationally. State-specific WHS notes are included where relevant.

What if I need something customised?

If your situation is more complex, such as multi-site operations, visa workers, specific Award interpretation, or anything the template won't quite cover, our Guided Support service is the better fit. See how that works.

Can I use one document across multiple employees?

Yes. Once you've purchased a template or pack, you can use it as many times as you need within your business. Fill it in fresh for each employee.

Want it done for you?

If your situation needs a real conversation, that's what guided support is for. Same plain English, with someone on your end of the phone.
