How to handle e-signatures for Australian remote and regional workers?

In Australia, the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and corresponding state legislation, such as the Electronic Transactions Act 2000 (NSW), provide the primary legal framework for e-signatures. These laws recognize electronic signatures as equivalent to wet-ink signatures for most contracts, provided they demonstrate intent to sign, are reliable, and appropriate for the purpose. For remote and regional workers, ensure the process complies with these acts by using platforms that maintain audit trails and support secure authentication methods, regardless of the signer's location.
