The Engineering Consulting Agreement is essential for any engagement of professional engineering services in Australia. It is typically used when a client requires specialized engineering expertise for projects, designs, assessments, or advisory services. The agreement covers crucial aspects including scope definition, professional standards, deliverables, intellectual property rights, liability provisions, and compliance with Australian engineering regulations and standards. It's designed to protect both the consultant's and client's interests while ensuring clarity in commercial and technical obligations. The document is adaptable for various engineering disciplines and can be used by individual consultants or consulting firms, incorporating state-specific requirements where necessary.
