Contractor Vetting & Onboarding Pack

Licensed, insured, and briefed — get your contractors set up professionally and risk-free

Service Overview

Hiring a contractor for your strata scheme isn’t just about finding the best price — it’s about ensuring the person or company you engage is qualified, compliant, and clearly understands what they’ve been hired to do.

Our Contractor Vetting & Onboarding Pack provides everything your committee needs to onboard contractors properly — from licence and insurance verification to custom job briefing documents and agreement templates. We handle the compliance checks, create the key paperwork, and make the process easy for both you and the contractor.

Ideal for one-off jobs like painting, roofing, or plumbing — and essential for trades you’ll use repeatedly, like cleaning, lawn care, or building maintenance.

What’s Included

Compliance Checks

Licence Verification

We confirm the contractor holds a valid licence with the relevant authority (NSW Fair Trading) based on their trade and state.

ABN Verification

We check the contractor’s ABN via the Australian Business Register to ensure it is active and linked to the correct business name.

Insurance Review

We verify public liability insurance and workers compensation (if applicable), checking both coverage amounts and policy expiry.

Optional Add-Ons

Contractor Briefing Call

We speak with the contractor directly (phone or Google Meets) to walk them through the brief, confirm key expectations, and answer any questions — saving your committee time and reducing risk of misunderstandings.

Custom Contract Drafting

Need a contractor agreement tailored to a complex job or committee concern? We can draft a custom short-form contract to formalise terms without legal jargon.

Documentation & Onboarding Materials

Custom Work Scope Summary

Based on your quote or project brief, we create a clear, structured work scope outlining exactly what’s been agreed — including scope inclusions, exclusions, timeframes, and special instructions.

Contractor Information Form

A simple form capturing contact details, ABN, licence number, insurance expiry, and bank account info (optional), to maintain clear internal records.

Editable Contractor Agreement Template

A simple, optional agreement form that can be customised by your committee to confirm expectations in writing — particularly useful for recurring trades.

Site Contact & Access Sheet

A handover-ready document that outlines:

  • Who the contractor reports to on site
  • Key access details or arrangements
  • Committee contact information
  • Safety notes or working hour limits

Vetting Summary PDF

A professional one-page summary showing which checks have been completed, what documentation was provided, and when the onboarding was finalised — ideal for recordkeeping or audit purposes.
