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.

Signed-up referrals only

Referral rewards require a signed-up referrer

A referral can be connected to a real referrer account, but rewards are not paid for anonymous or guest sharing.

1.Sign up first. Official referral links are created for signed-up referrers only.
2.Share your own link. The customer request stays attached to your referral account.
3.Reward after completion. Rewards stay pending until the job is completed, payment is received, checks are clear and team review passes.

Only signed-up referral accounts can earn rewards. This reuses the existing referrer, referral lead, lead event and reward records only.

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.
Thank-you guide

A thank-you of up to 5% may apply

Open this small guide only if you want example amounts. The person you refer still chooses whether to get help, and any thank-you is checked after a paid job is completed.

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 they book and complete a paid job, we check whether a thank-you applies before confirming it.
No extra costThe referral thank-you does not add extra cost to the customer.
Example: a AUD 300.00 completed paid job could mean up to AUD 15.00 after we check it. It is not guaranteed and may not apply to discounted, cancelled, refunded, unpaid, repeat, fake, self-made or does not qualify bookings. Simple sharing works best: “I thought this might help you.”
Referral claritySame help, clearer handoff

Referral links start through TheFixers and are reviewed with Your IT & Tech Mates. Referral details stay attached in the background so the customer can continue through one clear help path.

Evidence checked

Trust wording is reviewed before it is shown

Public trust notes should be based on real review, referral, warranty or provider evidence, not self-claimed badges or automatic ranking.

You have been referred

Someone shared this because they thought we could help

You are in control. You can tell us what you need, ask a question first, or close the page if it is not useful.

Private by default: only share your own details if you choose to ask for help. No payment, booking or order starts just by opening this link.

Next step after a referral

Accept the referral, then continue to the help request

This keeps the referral connected before you move into the normal Quick Help request step.

Before booking

Accept the referral before starting Quick Help

This keeps the referral link connected while the actual help request stays in the existing Quick Help form.

1. Confirm referral context
2. Continue to referred booking
3. Submit the normal Quick Help request

Referral details help our team understand where the request came from. The repair request itself still uses the existing Quick Help path.

Referral accepted

Your referral is accepted

Thanks. Your referral code will stay attached when you continue to Quick Help. You choose what contact and help details to send.

Next step: Continue to Quick Help when you are ready.

Privacy and safety

You choose what contact and help details to send. We use the referral only to understand how you found us.

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

Referral kept tidy

We keep the referral code consistent and avoid creating another record if these details already exist. If you already accepted this referral, continue from the same link instead of starting again.

Reference: not supplied

What happens next?

The person who shared the link does not need to manage your request. If you continue, you can talk to us directly.

1. Tell us what you need.
Use the Quick Help form for phones, computers, internet, printers and everyday tech problems.
2. Team check the request.
A team member checks the request before arranging any next step. No booking or payment starts just by viewing this page.
3. Stay connected.
After getting help, you can choose whether to stay connected with us.

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

Referral details

Referral not supplied

Referral details are only used to help our team understand how you found us and to keep the request connected safely.

Referral half done?

Keep the referral attached before booking

If you accepted a referral but did not finish the request, continue through referred booking so the source stays attached for team check.

Good next step
  1. Accept or confirm the referral.
  2. Continue to referred booking.
  3. Then complete the existing Quick Help form.
Use existing paths

This guidance keeps your existing request, referral or support path together instead of starting another path.

status and safety polish

Need to change, check or pause a referral?

Use the existing support path instead of creating repeat referrals. This keeps the person on one safe thread and reduces confusion on mobile.

confirmation polish

After a referral, choose the safest existing next step.

If the person wants help now, use Campus Help or Quick Help. If they only need guidance, use support. This keeps one clear path instead of creating repeat requests.

loop closure

Student referral mobile loop closure check

The referral loop is ready when a person can discover, share, join, accept, check support and move to campus help without leaving the existing safe pathway.

What happens next

We received your request

The team will review it, check the safest next step, and contact you if more information is needed. Keep your job reference handy if one was shown.

What happens next

We will review the safety concern carefully

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

Before referring or sharing

Before you refer or share: referrals are for friendly introductions only. They do not guarantee jobs, income, rewards, priority service or ongoing work. Any thank-you reward is checked by our team, and customers should never be pressured, misled or told a reward is guaranteed.

If something is unclear

Not sure what to enter or what happens next?

Keep the referral simple. If the person is not ready, details are missing, or the case feels sensitive, pause and use the existing support path instead of submitting extra information.
