Why use RK DocsConnect?

​​​Sector expertise

​​​​​​​​​The template documents are developed by leading legal practitioners from Russell Kennedy Lawyers, with strong sector specialisation and demonstrated in-depth expertise and experience in the home care, residential aged care and disability service areas.

​Ready to use products on demand

Our comprehensive suite of documents are available with a click of a button, whenever and wherever you are.

​Multiple purchasing options 

For most of our documents, you have the option of purchasing a subscription service meaning you will receive ongoing updates for the period of your subscription. All of our documents can also be purchased on a ‘one-off’ basis – meaning that for a lower fee, you can purchase the documents outright and come back to re-purchase the document if you ever need an update.

​Peace of mind subscription service

Our subscription service entitles our customers to receive updates to the document during the 12 month subscription period (1 July to 30 June). These updates reflect changes to law, industry trends, decisions of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission and other relevant regulatory bodies. Our subscription service offers our customers a cost effective way to have peace of mind that their agreements are always up to date.

​Cost effective

For a single fee your organisation can use our documents as many times as it likes.

​Opportunity to customise

If the RK DocsConnect documents are not suited to your needs, you can seek assistance from Russell Kennedy Lawyers to prepare customised documents to address your specific circumstances or requirements.

Don’t see what you want or require a customised template?

You can request a customised template which is tailored to reflect the way you operate or provide services.  For example, you may want to use specific terminology, remove parts of a template which are obsolete based on the way in which you provide services or capture different particulars in an agreement.

Russell Kennedy also offers a suite of additional templates to support home care, aged care and disability service providers, including for the procurement of goods and services and minor building works.
