Top policies and procedures every business needs

The 10 policy areas every Australian small business should consider, explained in short steps, with the Business Kitz templates to put each one in place.

Policy

What we expect, and why

Sets the standard.

"Everyone reports hazards."

Procedure

How we do it

The practical steps.

"Fill in the hazard form and give it to your manager the same day."

They work best together. That's why this guide pairs each policy with the forms, checklists and letters that put it into practice.

What good policies do for you

Clear expectations

People know the rules from day one.

Consistent decisions

The same situation is handled the same way.

A safer workplace

Physical and psychological harm is prevented.

Protected information

Less risk of data being misused or lost.

Support for managers

A fair framework for hard conversations.

Easier onboarding

New starters learn how things work, fast.

Law or good practice?

What the law says

Some duties apply to every employer, written down or not: a safe workplace, no discrimination or sexual harassment, and the National Employment Standards.

Good practice

Other policies simply make your business easier to run. Not every policy is legally required for every business.
