A free Australian invoice template gives you a professional, correctly-structured invoice you can reuse for every client. You can download the layout as Word, Excel, PDF or Google Docs and fill it in — or, faster, generate one online that does the maths and GST for you.
What's on a good Australian invoice template
- The word "Invoice" (or "Tax Invoice" if you're registered for GST)
- Your business name, ABN, address and contact details, and a logo
- The client's name and details
- A unique invoice number and the issue and due dates
- An itemised list — description, quantity, unit price and amount
- Subtotal, any 10% GST, and the total due
- Payment details — BSB, account number and PayID
For the full compliance rules, see our guide to tax invoice requirements in Australia.
Word, Excel, PDF or online?
- Word / Google Docs: easy to edit text, but you calculate GST and totals by hand.
- Excel / Sheets: can auto-total with formulas, but fiddly to format and share.
- PDF: looks professional and can't be altered — the standard for sending.
- Online generator (recommended): fills the template, calculates GST and totals live, and exports a PDF in under a minute — no formulas, no formatting. Try it free.
