The parties acknowledge that, prior to 1 July 2025, amounts invoiced by the Contractor were treated by the parties as inclusive of amounts for the Contractor to make its own superannuation contributions, with the Contractor being responsible for managing its own taxation and superannuation affairs, subject always to applicable law.

If the Contractor does not provide sufficient information, the Company may use a default fund or otherwise deal with the amount in the manner it reasonably considers appropriate to meet its legal obligations.
Nothing in this clause limits any statutory obligation of the Company or any statutory right of the Contractor.
Any superannuation payment made by Yogability Australia Pty Ltd to a complying superannuation fund on behalf of the Contractor on or after 1 July 2025 does not, of itself, create or imply an employment relationship or, of itself, alter the Contractor’s status as an independent contractor.

Unless otherwise agreed in a separate written addendum, all approved workers performing Services through the Company’s system are engaged and paid by the Company directly and not by the Contractor. Nothing in this clause authorises the Contractor to bind the Company, vary the Company’s fees, alter client terms, or represent that any approved worker is engaged by the Contractor rather than by the Company, except to the extent expressly approved in writing by the Company.
6.6. Approved Contractor Team Payment Functionality:

Any worker included in such an approved team must be contracted to Yogability Australia Pty Ltd, have an approved profile within the Yogability Australia disability support delivery system, be inducted on Yogability Australia policies and procedures, and have completed the Yogability Australia Pty Ltd Mindful Yoga Carer Screening process. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all such workers must deliver services in accordance with the Company’s current fee structure, policies, operational requirements and compliance processes. The Contractor must provide the Company with any records, confirmations, payment evidence or other information reasonably requested by the Company in relation to payments made to approved team workers. The Contractor acknowledges that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, this clause does not authorise the Contractor to bind the Company, vary the Company’s fee structure, alter the Company’s client terms, or represent that approved team workers are engaged by the Contractor rather than by the Company. The Contractor’s approved team is limited to a maximum of 25 workers unless a higher number is expressly approved in writing by the Company.
