Where can I find a standard residential building contract template in Australia?

There is no single national contract. Domestic building contract rules are set by each state, and many states require a written contract with specific content above a set value. Some regulators and industry bodies publish standard forms, for example Master Builders associations and the Housing Industry Association, and the form you can or must use depends on your state and the type of work. For an owner builder engaging trades, the contract is usually between you and each trade. Use a template only as a starting point, confirm it suits your state, and have a lawyer review any significant contract before you sign it.

In MyBuildHub: use the MyBuildHub templates as a starting point for trade scopes and agreements, then attach the signed contract to the matching contract in your project.

Check yourself: your state consumer affairs or fair trading body, your state building regulator, and a lawyer.

This is general information only. It is not legal advice, and MyBuildHub is not a law firm. Laws differ by state and change over time. Speak to a lawyer or your state regulator about your situation before you sign or act.
