Free client intake form for freelancers in New Zealand

A freelancer in New Zealand needs a client intake form that asks the right questions, shows prices in NZD, uses +64 phone numbers and fits the Privacy Act 2020. CalendarForm gives you that form free for 250 submissions a month, joined to a booking page that shows times in Pacific/Auckland (UTC+12, UTC+13 during daylight saving).

What to put on a client intake form in New Zealand

  1. Full name
  2. Email
  3. Company and website
  4. What do you need done?
  5. Deadline
  6. Budget range
  7. Phone, in the local format (for example +64 21 123 4567)
  8. Preferred language (English and Māori)
  9. Consent: "I agree to the freelancer using these details for my booking, as set out in the privacy notice (the Privacy Act 2020)"

Show the price as text on the booking page, for example "NZ$35 for a project kick-off call, pay by EFTPOS and card". CalendarForm does not take payment itself, so customers pay you the way they already do in New Zealand.

What freelancers usually let customers book

For freelancers in New Zealand, CalendarForm gives a freelancer one page with a booking link for calls and a project brief form, so new clients book a time and tell you what they need in one step. Most freelancers stay inside the free tier.

Put the booking link in your email signature.

Use a project brief form before every kickoff.

Set minimum notice so you are never booked same-day by surprise.

Privacy: what the Privacy Act 2020 means for this form

Nationally, the Privacy Act 2020 is collect only what you need for the booking and tell people what it is for.

CalendarForm keeps each business's answers separate, lets you export them to CSV, and does not use them for anything else. Link your own privacy notice in the form's description.

Booking times in New Zealand

New Zealand changes its clocks for daylight saving, so a Intro call at 18:00 stays at 18:00 local time all year. CalendarForm skips times that do not exist on the night the clocks go forward.

Customers booking from abroad still see the time in Pacific/Auckland, with the zone printed next to it, and their confirmation email repeats it.

Set it up in four steps

  1. Sign up free, pick the closest business type, and rename the starter form to "Client intake form".
  2. Set the time zone to Pacific/Auckland and add your opening hours.
  3. Edit the questions above, add the the Privacy Act 2020 consent line, and attach the form to your booking page.
  4. Share your link. Each booking sends an email confirmation with a cancel link, and a reminder 24 hours before.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes, up to 250 form submissions and 100 bookings a month. Most solo freelancers never pass that.
Can I use my own domain?
Not yet. Your page lives at calendarform.bobwork.ai/your-name.
Is a free client intake form enough for freelancers in New Zealand?
For most small freelancers, yes. You get 250 form submissions and 100 bookings free every month; after that, $5 buys 2,000 more submissions or 500 bookings, and packs never expire. Prices on your page can be in NZD.
Does the form follow the Privacy Act 2020?
The form collects only the questions you add and shows your consent line. Following the Privacy Act 2020 is still your job: ask only what you need, say why, and link your privacy notice.
Can I write the form in English?
Yes. Questions, options and the thank-you message are free text, so you can write them in English and Māori.
