Airtasker
Australian marketplace for local tasks and remote work, from cleaning to graphic design.
Airtasker is Australia's largest local services platform, also active in the UK, US, Singapore and New Zealand. Customers post tasks with a budget, and taskers make offers. The platform covers both physical jobs like removals and deliveries, and digital work like design and writing.
How Airtasker works for taskers
Taskers create a free profile, browse open tasks and submit offers with a price and message. The customer reviews offers and assigns the task. Airtasker holds the payment in escrow until the work is marked complete. For physical tasks, the platform includes liability insurance in the service fee.
Fees and earnings
Airtasker charges taskers a service fee of 10–20% depending on their membership tier. The fee drops as you complete more tasks and maintain high ratings. There is no subscription, but the tiered fee means new taskers start at the highest rate.
