How to Create a Personal Trainer Invoice

Follow these steps to put together a personal trainer invoice with our free generator:

  1. Enter your business name, ABN, and address, then upload your logo so the invoice looks polished from the first send.
  2. Fill in the client's name and address, then give the invoice a sequential number such as INV-001.
  3. Add each product or service as its own line item with a description, quantity, and unit price — the generator totals GST and the grand total automatically.
  4. Add your BSB and account number so the client can pay by direct transfer, then download the finished invoice as a PDF.

What to Include on a Personal Trainer Invoice

A personal trainer invoice should cover these fields, plus a few billing norms specific to how personal trainers typically operate in Australia.

Fields to include

  • ABN: Your Australian Business Number must appear on every tax invoice — leaving it off risks 47% no-ABN withholding on the payment.
  • GST treatment: Show the GST amount separately, or state that the total price includes GST if it is exactly 1/11 of the price.
  • Invoice number: A unique, sequential number for every invoice you issue makes reconciliation and BAS preparation far easier.
  • Payment details: Include a due date and your BSB/account number (or payment link) so clients can pay without asking.

How Personal Trainers typically bill

  • Session packs are sold and invoiced upfront, which improves cash flow and client commitment.
  • Online coaching is billed monthly in advance, with deliverables (program, check-ins, calls) specified in a service agreement.
  • A receipt is issued immediately after each payment, especially for cash, to keep clean records.
  • A cancellation and refund policy is set out in the service agreement to manage no-shows and pack refunds.

Personal training is always subject to GST once registered — it is not a GST-free health service — with registration mandatory once turnover reaches $75,000 and an ABN required on all tax invoices.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Watch out for these common errors when preparing a personal trainer invoice:

  • Leaving off the ABN, which can trigger 47% no-ABN withholding on the payment.
  • Mixing GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive prices on one invoice without labelling which is which.
  • Reusing invoice numbers, which makes it harder to reconcile payments and complicates your next BAS.

Frequently asked questions

Do personal trainers need to charge GST?
GST registration is mandatory when your turnover reaches $75,000. Note that personal training is not a GST-free health service — it is always subject to GST if you are registered.
How should a PT handle session pack refunds?
Include a clear refund policy in your service agreement. Common practice is to refund unused sessions minus an administrative fee. Issue a credit note against the original invoice for any refunded amount.
What insurance does a personal trainer need?
Public liability and professional indemnity insurance are essential. Most gyms and outdoor venues require a minimum of $10 million public liability cover before allowing you to train clients on their premises.
Do I need an ABN on my invoice?
Yes. If you have an ABN, it must appear on every tax invoice. Without an ABN, the payer may withhold 47% of the payment.
When is a tax invoice required?
A GST-registered business must issue a tax invoice for any sale over $82.50 (including GST) when the buyer requests one.
What if my invoice is for less than $1,000?
Sales under $1,000 need seven details: the words "tax invoice", your identity, your ABN, the issue date, a description of what was sold, the GST amount (or a statement that the price includes GST), and which items are taxable. Sales of $1,000 or more must also show the buyer's identity or ABN.
