This Self Employed Carer Contract is designed for use in South Africa when establishing a professional care relationship between an independent carer and their clients. It's specifically structured to maintain clear independent contractor status while adhering to South African healthcare and labor regulations. The document is essential for situations where professional carers provide services directly to clients without employment relationship, whether for elder care, disability support, or general healthcare assistance. It includes comprehensive provisions for service scope, payment terms, professional standards, and safety protocols, while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation such as the Labour Relations Act, National Health Act, and POPIA. The contract is particularly important in the current healthcare landscape where self-employed care arrangements are becoming increasingly common.
