An employment contract isn’t just a legal requirement, it’s the foundation of a respectful, compliant, and high-performing workplace. At Kane Independent Consulting, I work with business owners to design tailored employment contracts that are clear, fair, and fully aligned with the National Employment Standards and relevant Modern Awards.

I’ve seen firsthand how poorly written contracts, or worse, no contracts at all, can lead to disputes, confusion, and significant financial risk. That’s why I don’t offer templates or shortcuts. Instead, I take time to understand your business, your team structure, and the roles within it. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or managing a growing workforce across multiple locations, I’ll ensure your contracts reflect your needs and protect your business.

A well-written employment contract sets clear expectations around duties, hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, confidentiality, performance standards, and termination processes. It also empowers both the employer and employee to start the working relationship on solid ground.

With over a decade of experience advising businesses across Melbourne and country Victoria, I’ve helped clients create legally sound, plain-English contracts that support growth and minimise risk. From casual and part-time roles to complex full-time and executive arrangements, I’ll ensure your documentation is not only compliant but practical and easy to implement.

As the owner of Kane Independent Consulting, I pride myself on being more than a consultant, I act as your HR partner. I’m here to support your long-term success, so your contracts won’t just tick a box, they’ll become a powerful tool to manage and protect your people.

If you’re unsure whether your current contracts are up to date or legally compliant, or you simply need support drafting new ones, let’s talk. Together, we’ll build the right framework to keep your business safe and your employees engaged.
