Appendix 1. Common contract provisions

Every contract must include provisions to protect the interests of the Australian Government and as the person responsible for contract delivery, you need to understand the intent and consequences of all the provisions included in your contract.

When managing a contract, it is vital that you are familiar with the specific provisions in your contract that relate to these common contract provisions.

If you have an issue that arises around these provisions, you should rely solely on the terms and conditions within your contract and seek advice from your legal advisers or your central procurement area.
