Could anybody please advise us on the process of hiring a domestic helper?
We have found somebody we would like to hire and need to start the paperwork (for immigration)etc. Also, would anybody be happy to share what you cover in your contract with your own helpers?

If it is your first time, I strongly advise retaining the services of a good agency. It will only cost you a few thousand. You'll need one anyway in the majority of cases. AsiaXpat has a good agency. http://hongkong.asiaxpat.com/helpers/
There's a good book called "Hiring and Managing Domestic Help" which goes through pretty much all you need to know.
Regarding the contract, Immigration Department has a standardized one that must be used. We didn't really add to it. I feel that lots of rules in the contract are a bit pointless. If you want to make something clear, a conversation should suffice. A good helper will be a good helper regardless.
