About TaskerAsker — the Australian context for verified Australian home services

TaskerAsker is a free, Australia-first marketplace that connects homeowners and renters with verified local service providers. Every provider has their ABN checked before they can quote, their state-issued trade licence is recorded for regulated categories (plumbing, electrical, gas, building) and surfaced on the public profile, and reviews can only be left by customers whose job was booked, completed and paid for through the platform. The result is a quoting experience that filters out the worst of the cold-call cowboys without locking you into a single business.

For homeowners considering verified Australian home services, the practical workflow on TaskerAsker looks like this. You describe the job in plain English, add three or four photos and a rough timeframe, and post it free — there is no obligation to accept any quote and your contact details stay hidden until you choose a provider. Quotes arrive in writing, typically within a few hours during business hours, and each one itemises labour, materials, call-out fees and GST so you can compare like-for-like. You message the providers you want to shortlist, agree on a start date, and release payment in milestones once the work is signed off.

The marketplace covers every state and territory: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Major metro suburbs (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and the Gold Coast) have the deepest provider supply, but regional towns are covered too — when local supply is thin we surface the nearest matching tradies and indicate the travel-time premium up front, so there are no surprises.

Whatever you are reading about, the underlying promise of TaskerAsker is the same: a free Australian marketplace where homeowners and small businesses can find verified local providers, compare written quotes side by side, and pay safely through milestone payments that release only when the work is signed off.

What to check before you sign a quote for verified Australian home services

Licence number visible on the quote — for regulated trades, the licence must be issued by the relevant state authority (NSW Fair Trading, VBA, QBCC, WA Building Commission, Consumer and Business Services SA, Access Canberra, CBOS or the NT Building Practitioners Board) and current on the date of the work.
Public liability insurance — at least $5,000,000 for residential work; ask for the certificate of currency if the quote is over a few thousand dollars.
GST included or extra — every legitimate quote states this clearly. Vague "price on application" lines are a red flag.
Materials brand and warranty — for fixtures and fittings, ask which brand and what the manufacturer warranty covers versus what the tradie warrants for workmanship.
Payment terms — for jobs under about $3,000 a modest deposit (10–20%) and balance on completion is normal. Larger jobs should run on progress payments tied to defined milestones, never a single up-front lump sum.
Written variations — any scope change costs money. A reputable provider will issue a written variation order before doing the extra work, not after.
Clean-up and disposal — is rubbish removal included, or do you need a skip bin? Demolition jobs in particular are routinely under-quoted when this line item is missing.
