New student pathway

University and TAFE students can join matched local work.

The student pathway starts with university and TAFE students whose course or skills match the type of help they want to offer. It can suit IT, cybersecurity, networking, software, web and digital media students, as well as business, management, marketing, accounting and administration students for suitable support, coordination, content, ambassador and business-help tasks.

Course match before job match IT, networking, software and web help Business, marketing and admin support Accounting, management and coordination tasks Skill tags from real jobs Live-resume proof for interviews Refer jobs that are not the right fit

Best next step: start with student signup. Students are not activated automatically. The Fixers checks the course, skills, location and suitable task type before work is matched. If a job is not right for the student, provider or helper, they may refer it to someone suitable under the referral terms.

Provider pay example

Local tech help can start from $135+.

For everyday tech support, public customer wording now stays simple: support starts from $135+. The final quote is confirmed before paid work starts, and the customer can decline if it does not suit them. Prices are subject to GST where applicable.

Customer pays$135.00subject to GST where applicable
Total commission$18.23
Referral commission$6.75
Provider take-home$116.77before tax and GST obligations

In this example, the total commission is 13.5%. If an eligible referral applies, 5% is set aside as referral commission and 8.5% is retained by the platform. Referral commission can apply when someone refers a suitable job or provider connection they cannot complete themselves. Referral payments are checked first and are not paid automatically. Amounts shown are examples and may be subject to GST where applicable.

For peace of mind

We check the next step first

A real person reviews the request before anything is arranged. That keeps the service clear, local and low-pressure.

For local helpers

Your helper could be nearby

Help may come from a provider or a matched university or TAFE student. Technical students can help with suitable tech tasks; business, marketing, accounting, management and admin students can help with suitable support and coordination tasks.

For referrals

Not your job? Refer it.

If a job does not match your skills, course, location or availability, you can refer it to a suitable student, provider, local helper or referral partner. Referral commission may apply under the terms.

Share the device or tech issue in plain English. A support team member checks the details, confirms whether it fits the current local beta, and explains the next step before anything is arranged.

How we keep help safe

  • Requests are reviewed by a real person.
  • You can ask support before deciding what to do.
  • No automatic booking or automatic provider assignment.
  • Private job details and support notes stay protected.
  • Customer stories or proof are not published automatically.

Other ways to use the system

Customers can stay focused on help above. These paths are for people who provide, learn, coordinate, refer, share or manage the service. Students should start with signup so their course, skills and task type can be checked first. Referral partners can share suitable work they cannot complete themselves.

Provider, student, organisation, referral partner, ambassador and team areas are kept separate so public customers do not need to sort through service-side tools. Student applications are reviewed for study fit, task fit and local suitability before activation. Referral commission may apply where a suitable job or provider connection is referred under the terms.

Questions people ask

Short answers for invited customers and people looking for the right service path.

What is this page for?

It helps invited customers start tech help, check a job or ask support. It also links providers, students, organisations, ambassadors and team members to their own separate areas.

Where do customers start?

Choose Get help with a device for a new issue, Check my job for an existing request, or Ask support first if you are unsure.

What does public beta mean?

It means the service is open by invitation while support is kept local, reviewed and manageable. We are currently focusing on invited customers in Melbourne's northern suburbs.

What if I am outside the current area?

Ask support first. The support team can explain whether the current beta can help or whether you should wait for a later service area.

Where do students start?

Students can start with the student signup page. The pathway is designed for university and TAFE students whose course or skills match the work, including technical students and suitable business, management, marketing, accounting or admin students. They can also read the student blog gateway first.

Where do providers, students, referral partners or organisations go?

Use the Other ways to use the system section. Those paths are kept separate so customers can stay focused on getting help. If someone cannot do a job themselves, they may be able to refer it to a suitable provider or helper under the referral terms.

Is this a bidding or quote-comparison marketplace?

No. The service is built around clear, reviewed help paths, not automatic dispatch, provider ranking, quote comparison or price-race behaviour.

A simple local help request can start from $135+. For many skilled Melbourne tech help jobs, $135+ is used on this page as a guide price example. Prices may be subject to GST where applicable.
