About these templates

These templates are examples only, to help you get started. They are general information, not legal, medical, clinical or professional advice, and they may not suit your business, your profession or your state or territory.

Before you use any template, you must review and adapt it, and have it checked where needed, so it fits your services, your professional body's rules, privacy and health records laws, and the law where you operate. This matters most for consent, waiver, privacy and minors' forms. You are responsible for the forms you use and the information you collect.

To the extent the law allows, nopen gives no warranty that the templates are complete, current or fit for any purpose, and is not liable for loss arising from their use. Nothing here excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The templates are not endorsed by or connected with any government agency, including Services Australia, Medicare or the NDIA. Do not add government logos, the Commonwealth Coat of Arms or other official marks to them. Fields that refer to government numbers (such as a Medicare card number) are labels only.
