You must have an ABN or ACN to sign up and work in Australia and once you engage to work on a project you will need relevant insurance coverage.

You will need to let us know if the project has been extended, or the client has engaged you for additional work within 12 months of the commencement of your original project. Please contact projects@expert360.com.

Follow-on work within 12 months of your project's commencement is subject to Expert360's Pay Per Project fee which is payable by the Client.

If a Client wishes to engage you directly they may require you to have an ABN or ACN. Otherwise, Expert360 will engage you and payroll you (PAYG and superannuation will be deducted) for which an ABN is not required. Please contact us to discuss your options.

You are responsible for ensuring all visa requirements are met, including costs.

Expert360 clients will either rely on the Expert360 platform or contract and pay you directly. If Expert360 is facilitating the payments between you and the Client, you need to invoice for your work on the Expert360 platform.

Please refer to our Pricing and Payments Procedures for more information.

If you are invoicing and contracting directly with the client, you should negotiate payment terms and understand your client's accounts processes at the start. Payment days are normally set out in the contractor agreement.

The cost to deliver projects depends on the time and complexity of work, the Client's budget and Experts' market rates. Clients can indicate a budget in their project briefs. The Expert360 team can provide guidance to Clients upfront regarding the usual price range for different project types.

Expert360 may charge either:
- An agreed all-inclusive fee for the Expert's and our services; or
- An agreed margin on an Expert's rates plus on-costs. Amounts invoiced for expense reimbursements are not subject to the Expert360 margin.

On-costs vary depending on the location of the project and may include payroll taxes and payroll administration fees.

When you find an Expert through Expert360, you'll be charged 25% of the Expert's annual remuneration package if you hire them on a permanent basis. This includes those you permanently hire immediately from the platform, or after your Project engagement finishes. Please refer to our Terms of Service for more detail.

From 4pm on 1 March 2019, when you engage an eligible Expert through Expert360, they will be covered for Professional Indemnity and Public & Products Liability insurance for the duration of your project.  This is at no direct cost to the Client or Expert. Clients and other companies based in the United States are excluded.
