Refer a Friend

You were referred by someone who wants to help

You can look around first. Starting Quick Help does not mean paid work starts immediately; we check the request and explain the next step.

1. Send the linkUse a normal message: “I thought this might help you.”
2. They decideYour friend can read it first, ask a question, or start Quick Help.
3. We check itIf their job goes ahead, we check whether a 5% thank-you applies.
Only share with people who may genuinely need help. To be counted, they should start through your referral link before booking.
Referral thank-you

Your referral link has been kept

You came through a referral link. You stay in control, and paid work does not start until the next step is clear.

Example: a AUD 300.00 job could mean AUD 15.00 as a thank-you after we check it.

Thank-yous are not guaranteed. To be counted, the person should start through your referral link before booking.

Thank-you guide

See what 5% can look like

Open this small guide only if you want example amounts. The person you refer still chooses whether to get help.

Example job amountPossible thank-you
AUD 100.00AUD 5.00
AUD 200.00AUD 10.00
AUD 300.00AUD 15.00
AUD 500.00AUD 25.00
AUD 1,000.00AUD 50.00
Keep it friendlyShare it as a helpful suggestion, not a sales pitch.
We check itIf the job goes ahead, we check the thank-you before confirming it.
No extra costThe referral thank-you does not add extra cost to the customer.
Example: a AUD 300.00 job could mean AUD 15.00 after we check it. It may not apply to cancelled, refunded, repeat, fake or self-made bookings. Simple sharing works best: “I thought this might help you.”
Fair sharing

How we keep referrals fair

You stay in control. Referrals are checked so the person who shared the link is only thanked when the rules allow it.

Do not refer yourselfA thank-you is for sending someone else to friendly tech help, not for your own booking.
One real request is enoughDo not create the same booking more than once or ask someone to submit fake details.
Only completed work can countA thank-you may not apply if the job is cancelled, refunded, unpaid, unsuitable or does not go ahead.
Use your link firstTo help us count it, the person should start through your referral link before booking.
No pressure: do not promise a guaranteed thank-you, create fake or repeat bookings, refer yourself, or pressure anyone to book.
Urgent support

If there is immediate danger, call emergency services first

Before you join

Before you join: The student pathway is designed to help students explore suitable campus, community, referral, support, admin, marketing, project and tech-related opportunities. It does not guarantee jobs, income, referrals, reviews, skill tags, ongoing work or future paid work. Students are not employees of thefixers.app or Your IT & Tech Mates unless a separate written employment agreement is made. Participation does not automatically create an employment, contractor, agency, partnership or franchise relationship. Students must only accept suitable tasks, follow safety and guidance rules, comply with campus or community requirements, and meet any age, tax, legal, consent or parent/guardian requirements that apply.
