Isn't having a Contract enough for my staff?

A contract outlines the basic terms of employment like pay, hours, and start date. But a staff handbook goes much further. It sets out the day-to-day expectations, behaviours, and policies that guide how your team works together—things like leave procedures, dress code, use of mobile phones, handling complaints, social media use, and what happens when something goes wrong.

The contract is the legal agreement. The handbook is the practical guide.

Having both means you’re not only meeting your legal obligations—you’re also creating a consistent, professional workplace where everyone knows the rules and how things are done. It protects your team, and it protects you.

How do I implement the handbook into my practice?

Start by reading through the handbook so you’re confident with what it covers. Then introduce it to your team—either in a meeting or one-on-one—explaining how it supports a fair, consistent workplace. Share a digital or printed copy and ask staff to sign an acknowledgment form. From there, refer to it regularly during onboarding, reviews, or when questions come up. It should become your go-to guide for how things are done in the practice.

Is this handbook compliant?

Yes, the ADAAMA Staff Handbook is written to align with current Australian workplace laws and standards, including the Fair Work Act, the National Employment Standards (NES), and key obligations under the Health Professionals and Support Services Award where relevant. While it’s not a legal document like an employment contract, it provides clear, well-structured policies that support fair and consistent practice management.

That said, every practice is unique—so if you have complex or high-risk situations, it’s always wise to review the handbook alongside your legal or HR advisor to make sure it complements your specific contracts and procedures.
