We do not save payment details here. Do not type passwords or banking codes.

Referral attached

Your referral will stay with this request

Referral details attached

Staff can see this request came from a referral. Your private request details are not shown back to the person who referred you from this flow.

Your referral privacy

Referral details stay attached for staff review. Your contact details are used for your request, not shown back to the person who referred you.

Booking started

Your referral details are attached

Finish the Get Tech Help request. We will check it before arranging next steps. Your request details are not shown back to the referrer from this flow.

Do not enter passwords, PINs, banking codes or one-time login codes.

Urgent support

If there is immediate danger, call emergency services first

For suspicious messages, account access, remote access requests, banking/code pressure or unsafe behaviour concerns, pause and contact support before taking the next step.

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.

Safety first

If this may be a scam, pause before doing anything else

Good to know

Nothing scary happens here

Ready to start?

Use this form when you want us to review a new tech help request

Tell us what happened once. A team member checks the request before any paid work, booking or provider step is arranged.

Come back without starting again

If you paused the form, use one clear next step

Finish the Quick Help request when you are ready. If you already submitted it, track the request instead of creating a repeat.

Good next step
  1. Finish this request if nothing has been sent.
  2. Track your order if you already received a reference.
  3. Ask support if you are unsure.
Use existing paths

This guidance keeps your existing request, referral or provider path together instead of starting a repeat path.

What happens next

We will review the safety concern carefully

The team checks the information, looks for the safest next step, and contacts you if more detail is needed. Keep screenshots or messages if safe.
