29 Principal Contractor SWMS templates. Simple and compliant. Ready to download, sign off, and get on site.

If you're a principal contractor business who needs SWMS across a range of work types and equipment — not just one or two — this pack is the most cost-effective way to get them. At $690 for 29 templates, you're paying around $23.79 per SWMS. Buy them individually and the same documents cost $49.95 or $69.95 each. This pack saves you over 60% off the cost of buying SWMS at full price.

Every SWMS in this pack is pre-written, compliant with the Model Work Health and Safety Act, Model WHS Regulations, relevant Codes of Practice and Australian Standards — and fully editable in Microsoft Word. Add your company details, and the variable project and site-specific information, and they're ready to use.

As a principal contractor, you may also need a WHS Management Plan for projects valued at $250,000 or more — see our Management Plan templates.

Why These SWMS Over the Alternatives?

vs. Writing them yourself

A properly written SWMS needs to identify the correct high-risk construction work categories, list realistic hazards and controls, include a risk matrix, specify PPE requirements, and align with the WHS Act, Regulations, and relevant Codes of Practice. Writing 29 of them from scratch is months of work. These are already written — you're customising by adding business and site-specific information, not creating.

vs. Hiring a consultant to write them

A WHS consultant charging to produce bespoke SWMS typically bills $200–$500+ per document. At that rate, 29 SWMS would cost $5,000–$14,000. This pack costs $690.

vs. Free templates online

Free SWMS templates are typically incomplete, poorly structured, and not aligned with current Australian WHS legislation, and the expectations of your clients. They require significant safety knowledge to complete correctly — and if they're missing required content, they don't provide the legal protection a proper SWMS is meant to give you.

What You Get:

• Instant digital download — 29 SWMS delivered to your inbox immediately after purchase.

• Fully editable Microsoft Word format — add your company details, project and site-specific information.

• Pre-written, compliant content — aligned with the Model WHS Act, WHS Regulations, Codes of Practice, and Australian Standards.

• Free phone and email support — if you have questions about customising any document.

• No subscription fees — pay once, use on every project.
