Frequently Asked Questions
We know it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to legal matters, so we have done the hard work for you and created several legal template bundles. These also provide great value for money, as by bundling them together, you save money.
For example, our Get Started Bundle (AUS) and Get Started Bundle (NZ) contain a few essential legal documents for start-ups or more experienced businesses that don’t have any legal documents yet.
There is also our Website Bundle (AUS) and Website Bundle (NZ) for those only requiring documents for their website, or our ‘Teams Bundle’, which contains templates suitable for businesses hiring staff.
We also have a range of individual legal templates for you to pick and choose what you need.
Have a browse of our templates, and if you’re still not sure what you need, book a free consultation. We can recommend the templates best suited for your business.

Yes! All businesses need legal documents to protect themselves and reduce risk for you and your business. Some are legally required – like a privacy policy or website terms and conditions.
We understand ‘getting your legal done’ can be as fun as having a tooth extracted and often just as expensive, which is why people often procrastinate and do nothing-promising they will get to it ‘one day’. Or worse, they copy legal documents from their friend or a similar business without knowing who these were drafted by, whether they comply with the law, or whether they are suitable for their business. We created Legally Healthy - to make ‘getting your legals done’ affordable, painless, and easy.
Yes, the free guides and templates are all drafted by qualified Australian lawyers. Our New Zealand templates are drafted by qualified New Zealand lawyers.
The final versions of all documents on our site, are either drafted (or approved) personally by our founder/owner Chantel Ryan who is a qualified and highly experienced Australian business lawyer as well as a Naturopath and Health Coach.
To find out more about Chantel and her qualifications, visit our About page.
Unfortunately, we can't guarantee you will be 100% protected from ALL potential legal risks if you buy a template or bundle, as we do not know your business circumstances. Also, we do not see the final documents you created from the templates.
However, the intention is certainly that they will help reduce your legal risk and make you look more credible and professional to your clients and other stakeholders. And in an industry that is constantly scrutinised and under a microscope now more than ever, we think this is necessary and valuable!
We certainly believe using these templates, which are industry-specific, compliant with applicable law, and personalised by you, is much better than having no documents at all or copying documents off the internet from unknown sources, which may actually do more harm than good if they do not suit your business or comply with the relevant laws.
Note that our templates are designed for small-ish businesses and sole traders with a fairly low-risk profile. If you are a bigger, more complex business with a higher risk profile and complex offerings, you may prefer to have custom-made legal documents drafted specifically for your business. Please visit our Legal Services page or book a free consultation with Chantel.
Unfortunately, we do not offer a refund if you simply change your mind. We encourage you to reach out if you are unsure if our products are right for you before buying.

Yes, you can but you will need to be mindful of the suggested text in the templates and the documents may require more personalisation on your part to suit your unique business needs. If you are unsure if the templates are right for your business, feel free to reach out before buying.
We are always updating our template library, so if there is a document you need, please let us know. In the meantime, if you need custom legal services, please visit our Legal Services page or book a free consultation with Chantel.
Our Australian legal templates adhere to Australian law and are designed for those doing business in Australia. While similar principles may apply in your jurisdiction, please consult with a lawyer qualified in your jurisdiction. If you are based in New Zealand, please check out our range of New Zealand legal templates drafted by qualified New Zealand lawyers and adhere to New Zealand law.
Yes. All our templates are drafted by qualified Australian (or New Zealand) lawyers and are legally binding.
We provide all legal templates in an editable word doc format.
All our templates come with instructions on how to complete them. You complete the highlighted text in the template to personalise to suit your business needs, then you save, delete any explanatory comments in the template, remove any remaining highlight and you are ready to use it.
Feel free to add your branding and logo. We think your legals should fit seamlessly into your business branding.
It varies depending on the template, but most should only take around 10-15 minutes.
It depends. Using our online services (including our free consultation service), downloading a free guide, or buying our templates does not constitute legal advice and does not make Legally Healthy your lawyer. The information on our site, www.legallyhealthy.com.au, including our templates and free guides, should be considered informational only.
If you require legal advice or custom legal services, visit our Legal Services page, email us, or book a free consult with Chantel. We will then discuss your legal needs and provide a quote. If you agree to proceed, you will sign a client agreement, making you a client of Legally Healthy.
Only then will a lawyer-client relationship be created.
Nooo siree. These templates are our intellectual property and we have worked hard to make them easy to complete and affordable for all.
