Getting started
Quick start
Sign up, pick a template, fill sections, and download a PDF
This walkthrough works for any template in your library — compliance, operational, or customer. Pick the form that matches your job, work through the sections, then export a PDF. For field-by-field help on compliance forms, see Form guides.
You can fill and preview without paying; you need to sign in to download the PDF.

Complete onboarding
Choose your state and trade. Tradie Forms uses this to show relevant templates on Templates and your home screen. You can change these later in Settings.
When onboarding finishes, you land on Templates so you can start a form straight away.
