Photography and/or Videography Services Agreement Template (Australia)
$365 (incl. GST)
Who this is for: Freelance and professional photographers and videographers across Australia who want to set clear expectations with clients and protect their work—whether you're shooting weddings, portraits, events or brand content.
A well-drafted contract helps you focus on creating beautiful content—without chasing invoices, delivering extras for free, or navigating awkward misunderstandings after the shoot. This template is designed for Australian creatives to clearly set out what’s included, when and how you’ll be paid, and how the final content can be used. (It covers photography, videography, or both — the agreement uses “Content” as the umbrella term.)
Why You’ll Love This Template
✔️ Sets client expectations around inclusions, editing and image delivery;
✔️ Covers copyright, cancellations, travel costs and payment terms; and
✔️ Protects your work legally—without pages of legalese.
What’s Inside the Agreement
✔️ Project details + a customisable Schedule for each shoot/project;
✔️ Deposit + balance payment structure (including GST and late payment consequences);
✔️ Clear deliverables: photos, video content, editing inclusions + revision rounds (if you offer them);
✔️ Strong scope protection (including exclusions like RAW files/unedited footage);
✔️ Delivery timelines and practical disclaimers (late arrivals, weather, venue rules);
✔️ Licensing terms that control how clients can use your work (personal vs commercial use);
✔️ Portfolio/marketing use permissions (so you can show your work confidently); and
✔️ Model/property release responsibility clearly allocated.
Common Scenarios this Template Helps With
→ “Can we get all the RAWs?”
→ “We’re postponing — do we lose the deposit?”
→ “Can we use this on paid ads / packaging / a billboard?”
→ “Can you send everything tonight?”
