01
What it is
Policy writing for Australian employers and not-for-profits: templates where a template is enough, custom writing where it isn’t.
Policies & procedures · From $490
Workplace policies and a staff handbook written for your people, not for a lawyer.
A single policy written for your organisation, or a bundle of the ones you’re missing. Word files for your letterhead, in language a volunteer secretary can apply without a lawyer.
02
Who it’s for
Boards and managers who need a grievance, child safety, privacy, volunteer or code-of-conduct policy that staff will finish reading.
03
What we do
Work out which policies you’re missing, write or adapt them to how you operate, and add the forms people fill in to follow them.
04
What you get
Word files you can put on your letterhead, plus a note on what to adopt first and what can wait.
How it works
01 · Free discovery call
Thirty minutes by Zoom or phone. You tell us what’s going on, and we tell you whether we can help. If we can’t, we’ll say so.
02 · Check-Up, if useful
Optional. A $295 look at your files, then a Priority Plan. The $295 comes off the bill if you go ahead.
03 · A written quote
The quote reflects your size, your documents and your budget, and it comes before any work starts.
04 · The work
Short Word and PDF documents you can edit and keep using.

What sets the price
One policy, written for your organisation, starts at $490. A pack is quoted. If you need a full workplace suite and can edit the names yourself, our $199 Workplace Policy Pack is usually the cheaper start. Here’s how to build an employee handbook from it.

Common questions
Should we buy the Policy Pack or have you write our policies?
If you can fill in the names and details yourself, the Workplace Policy Pack (50 editable Word policies) is usually the cheaper start. Ask us to write when a policy needs to fit how you work, or when the files are a mess.
Can you look at the policies we already have?
Yes. A Check-Up looks at what’s working, missing or out of date, and policy updates are part of our monthly support.
Is this legal advice?
No. We write plain-English policies, and this is general information, not legal advice. Get legal advice on higher-risk policies before you adopt them, such as Respect at Work, WHS, surveillance, redundancy, whistleblowing and child safety.
General information, not legal advice. Check current Fair Work, WHS and state requirements for your organisation.
