Depends which agency, sometimes it can be until after the start date, they should be able to e-mail you a copy so you can have a quick look before the hard copy comeswhats the lowest you can do this for?Comment

I got a copy before the interview (it's CP). I'm just very pessimistic and worried that the agent told me I got the job just to get references, I need to lighten up a bit and stop worrying.Comment

Send them a PCG standard contract and inform them that if you don't hear back from them before you start at the client site that you will assume that they have implicitly agreed to the new contract.
