How to use the Australian progress invoice template

  1. 1. Confirm the contract permits the proposed billing stage.
  2. 2. Reference the accepted quote, job, milestone, and approved variations.
  3. 3. Show the current claim, earlier claims, remaining balance, and GST clearly.
  4. 4. Reconcile the document with the accounting invoice and job-cost record.

Australian compliance and business checks

A progress invoice still needs the normal Australian invoice or tax-invoice information. Check the Australian Government invoicing guide, the accepted contract, and any state-specific security-of-payment or residential-building requirements that apply to the job.

When to move from a Word document to ATT

A Word document is useful while volume is low. Move to ATT when customer details, quote versions, follow-up, accepted scope, schedules, crew notes, costs, variations, progress billing, and accounting sync need to stay connected instead of being copied between files.
