The Department sought the development of an incoming sponsorship agreement template for broader use. They had been offered a “partnership” arrangement with an external partner; however, it did not reflect the requirements of the Queensland Sponsorship Policy and there were several provisions, which were not suitable for the Department such as a first right of refusal or exclusivity. We hosted several meetings with the client online and developed the template agreement for use for a range of sponsors. We adapted the template developed for the external provider partnership that was on offer.
